Time Out

[sally1800]

What do you guys feel is fair for a Time out or DNF

[johnnyh66]

depends on the coarse but 10-15 mins.
We were also discussing leaving the clock run during repairs.

I voted 12 because I do like the 20 gate course but do not want to drag it out to long.

That is not legal.

i think there should be a time penalty for repairs, i never heard the point value for a repair... my 2 cents

There is

you easily had 30 minutes in repairs today saydee.. we let other people run and then you get back on the course. I think the clock should run during repairs too.. that or put a time limit on repairs. If you repair for longer than 3minutes you take a DNF.

[Die-Laughing]

with the upcoming C1 craze.. I dont know if we should decide on the time limit per course quite yet. If were all going to be carrying around 3 trucks with us.. were going to need to shorten these things up so we can run them all. I'm thinking 10 gate course would speed things up quite a bit. and how can we decide on a time limit for a 10 gate course right now?

I'll put my vote in for a 20gate course.

I say 10 minutes is fair. As far as the repair; I think as maybe instead of timing the repair, rather for ever X minutes (maybe 3 is good) you get another repair penalty.

that's a good idea.
ZERO FOR PRESIDENT!

[Die-Laughing]

yeah.. that is a good idea. Damnit zero.. stop banging hookers and get back in the game! we need ya!

Off-course repairs: (touch +10pts) A driver can call time to make an off-course repair. Repairs should be completed within 30 minutes, or the driver is given a DNF minus progress points. If the repair is made in the allotted time, the driver must return to the last previous gate cleared. A 1 minute time penalty will be subtracted from the time that is left on that course, the timer will continue once the vehicle makes forward progress.

I'd be a good U.S. President, true!

30 minutes!? jeeeze.

That doesn't make sense at all with our 10-15 minute course limits.

I like what zero said better. a one minute time penalty means nothing to us. id rather have to take repair points every 3 minutes.

but, i guess the rules is the rule.

we could run 3 trucks during someones 30min repair.

Someone else can run why waiting.

wait until the day you brake. Three mins will do nothing.

I thought all these votes were to change the rules

There is only one for changing that is gate min. track width. I don't want to.

[Mega Fattie]

We cant decide on a time limit because it depends on the course.

The 20 gate rock course today took almost everyone all of 15min. But at roselle 20 gates takes no longer than 10min, i dont know about foster because we havnt run there enough.

I vote 15 because it is needed for bussee, but will be overkill for roselle.
