2010 Solo Smack Talk Thread

[claym]

Well, the boards are too boring!

I miss the old days (like last year) where smack talk was rampant between events. It kept things more interesting. I'll even let someone else start this year...

Or is everyone just a slug (on and off course)?

[Welacey]

Well, I'm a slug on course, and with the T&T coming up, somebody that won't be mentioned at this particular scribing, is more SLUGGISH.

[JohnW8]

I've been too busy to generate much smacktalk. But I can say we have new cones, a new class "T" and a new air compressor for our solo events. All we need now is our timing system out of the lockup and a couple of safety stewards and we'll have ourselves a solo season!

And new helmets.

Actually, helmets are good thru this year...

From Jan Fastrack...

SAFETY
ITEM 2) Amend the previous proposal concerning helmets in Solo events for 2010:
4.3.1, first sentence – Change: “All helmets meeting the following standards must be worn while on course: All helmets meeting
the current or two immediately preceding Snell Foundation standards (SA, K, or M SA2005, SA2000, SA95, M2010, M2005,
M2000, M95, K2005, K98), or SFI standards 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A, or 41.2A, or British spec BS6658-85 type A/FR are
acceptable.
ITEM 8) 4.3.1, first sentence – Change: “Helmets meeting one of the following standards must be worn while on course:
Snell SA2010, K2010, M2010, SA2005, K2005, M2005, SA2000, K2000, M2000, SA95, K98; SFI 31.1, SFI 31.1A, SFI
31.2A, SFI 41.1, SFI 41.1A, SFI 41.2A; BS6658-85 Type A/FR.”

Comment: After receiving member comments, the Snell Helmet Safety Standards were re-examined with a follow-up e-mail to the Snell Memorial Foundation. Because of changes in helmet testing, Snell will have two concurrent motorcycle helmet
standards in effect – M2010 helmets are available now and also M2005 helmets will continue to be certified through June 30,
2011. (This is the same ending date for certification testing of SA2005 and K2005 helmets.) Basically, Snell will have an unusual
situation in 2010 – two current motorcycle helmet standards at the same time.

[JohnW8]

Yep, I saw that... we needed new helmets. The others were missing padding and at that point they're useless, even though current.

Sounds like some of the CSP drivers

At least I haven't bought 5 Neons

[claym]

actually it's my 6th (5 ACRs and 1 R/T) but who's counting...

Did anybody ever tell you when Chrysler dropped their Solo contingency program?

[claym]

They have all been Dodge Neons, not Chrysler....

Sheesh


Next thing you'll tell me is that they've stopped making AMC Pacers....

[Jedi1]

I think the Pacer X is still in production in Bratislava. They only produce it in hummus beige and it only comes with a passenger seat. This would be the perfect car for Wally since he doesn't know what to do when he's in the drivers seat and anything beige doesn't attract attention to itself so nobody can see how unbelievably slow he's going.

[Cholewa]

Don't be dissing on beige, many a volvo have surprised folks.

Other than that I have no smack to talk, since nobody runs H stock anymore.

[Jedi1]

I might be running HS at Cecil. Probably doesn't count though.

[Cholewa]

Def doesn't count
