Ev Gets Screwed Again

The who have a song that says "won't get fooled again."
Indyslotcar driver Ev Kamikawa has a parody of the song he sings that says "won't get screwed again."
Problem is he still keeps getting screwed more often than any other driver in league history.
The latest screw job took place at Badger Raceway for the 2013 Duane Sweeny Memorial race.

Early in the second heat race Ev was down several laps to leader Dean Strom.
Storming back into contention Ev took the lead with three minutes to go.
Track officials announced Ev had a one lap lead on Dean with two minutes to go.
At the one minute mark track officials announced Dean was on the lead lap, although he hadn't passed Ev on the track.
Both drivers battled side by side for many laps.



Ev beats dean at finish line on final completed lap, but time has not run out so drivers continue for the remaining few seconds as they are tied in lap totals. At some point in time, not made clear in the video replays shown at the track, track officials announce time has expired. In the frame shown on replay Dean is indeed ahead by half of a car length when Commissioner Mike claims he called for the cars to stop. As the cars pass out of camera shot Ev is even and passing Dean again. Dean crashes into the wall at the end of the back straight. Ev continues onward for two more track sections before he too crashes.
The lap counter shows Ev ahead at the line and finishing the race in less time than Dean. Ev is ahead of Dean on the track and the corner marshal in the area says Ev has won.
Commissioner K claims time was called as Dean was ahead of Ev by one car length on the back straight and declares Dean the winner, even though where and when time exactly expired and was announced with the cars on track isn't clear, Dean crashed into final turn after Ev passed him and the computer says Ev was the winner.
Victory awarded to Dean and he goes on to win the event.
"You usually race back to the line in any racing event," Kamikawa explained. "I was ahead at the line and ahead on the track. Since both of us couldn't make it all the way around you go back to the previous lap and or use where the cars come to rest. Where someone says 'stop' isn't helpful because do you immediately stop when they start saying the word and you hear the 'ssss' sound or do you stop when you get to the 'p' sound?"

Dean was declared the winner but should he have been? My investigation into league history might prove otherwise.
So far there are at least two cases which prove my point.
By coincidence both precedents involve Kamikawa.

Example number one:
1997 Ford Fall 500 at the Mini Milwaukee Mile.
Pole sitter Ev feel back several laps int he first half to John Baas, teammate with Commissioner Phil.
Ev takes the lead with a few laps to go. Ev is leading the white flag lap but no one is looking at finish line or lap counter. Ev crosses the finish line three car lengths over John. Ev celebrates victory, however the video cameraman, the marshalls, and commissioner were distracted by other events on the track. No one else saw the finish, or at least claims they did. Since no one but the drivers saw the finish, Commissioner Phil declares it a tie. There are no rules in the IndyslotCART rule book to address this situation.
Ev's car is literally torn apart and handed back to him in a plastic bag. Commissioner Phil declares John the winner because according to the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) rule book, in the event of a photo finish the driver that came from further back in qualifying gets the win.

If that precedent was followed in the 2013 Duane Sweeny Memorial then Ev should have been declared the winner as he qualified lower than Dean.

Example number two:
Turkey Trot 2012 at Southshore Speedway. Dan Margetta and Ev are tied on laps with a few seconds to go in a limited de-slot race. Ev has one less de-slot than Dan meaning if he goes off the track once he is done. Dan spins in the hairpin turn and as time runs out and Ev is even with his car while passing him. Effectively the cars are tied in laps and in track position. Ev's car is still under power and Ev de-slots while Dan stays in the slot because car has no power. While no one disputes Ev passed Dan when time ran out and was ahead, the victory is given to Dan because he remained on the track after time had expired and what happened after time was called counts. Even though Ev's last de-slot happened after time expires, officials claimed Dan still won because his car was still on the track.

If this precedent was followed then Ev should have been declared the winner in the 2013 Duane Sweeny Memorial because in addition to being shown ahead on the lap scoring system, Ev was ahead on the track even after time expired.

What should be done to correct this gregarious racing injustice?
The race is in the books.
No changes will be made, however this race will remain one of the biggest debating points in league history.
Maybe the league statisticians should add three victories onto the career totals for Ev.
No explanation. No changing box scores from the past. Just add them in.
One change in the all time stats column. They do it in baseball all the time as hitters get close to milestones, and they even go to the trouble of correcting box scores!
No one checks racing stats as closely as baseball stats.
Did Ev get screwed again?
"Yes!" exclaims Ev.
In my opinion...You bet he did...again!

Until next time...It's not bad being in the pits!

Wiedemann Doubles Up At 2014 Badger

For the first time in ISF history, three races in a row have been won by the same driver sweeping both events. John Wiedemann became the latest driver to win both events when he swept the F1 and LMP races at the Muskego Grand Prix at Badger Raceway.


The wins were not easy. The long straights of Badger Raceway proved too fast as almost all the competitors had engine troubles of one sort or another. Dan Margetta's Peugot had an engine seize on him twice forcing to drop from the final LMP race. Dean Strom's Audi R15 was also in pieces after hitting the wall. Widemann's Jaguar F1 car broke so completely that the competition committee allowed him to use Todd Wolf's car after that driver was eliminated.
"We thought it would only be fair since it wasn't his fault," said competition director Rex Carz. "Clearly some competitors probably wished we wouldn't have allowed that because he promptly used that car to kick everyone's butt."



In the finals Wiedemann was never seriously challenged. All competitors suffered mechanical failures and electrical failures that robbed everyone of power and the ability to mount sustained threats to "Jota Doughblay." 


                    F1 lineup: Fitzlaff, Strom, Margetta, Kamikawa, Wiedemann, Wolf

The LMP event was the same as the F1 event with cars breaking down.
"These cars were not made to be driven THIS hard," Margetta explained.  
Once again every car had issues.
"We're not sure what happened tonight," said Karz. "We've raced here before with these cars. Maybe the manufactures are still trying to get a handle on the tolerances for the parts so they can last the number of races we require them to. That is why we allowed certain adjustments to the rules for this event."

In the end it didn't matter what the competition director decided as Wiedemann took the competition to the cleaners.

Kamikawa Doubles Down at 2014 Rapids GP


 

Everet Kamikawa winning on his home track of Rapids International Raceway, while not uncommon, isn't routine either. Even more rare is Kamikawa sweeping events on a race night.
The last time that Kamikawa won both events at an ISF event was July 2005 at the Turtle Trot.


The wins were not easy. After taking pole position in the F1 division, Kamikawa had to fight to the very last second of the final with Mike Lack. In fact it was only after the checkered flag flew that Kamikawa even knew he was in the lead. A lane jump had given Lack an extra lap in the scoring and throughout the second half of the race track announcers and TV reporters were giving credit to Lack for lead of two laps over the Ferrari. A few spins by Jaguar brought the Ferrari back to one lap down with 30 seconds to go. Slowing down believing he still had a lap lead, Lack let Kamikawa past believing time was on his side. In reality it was a pass onto the lead lap for Kamikawa who gassed it all the way to the line. When scoring was examined Kamikawa was declared the winner.
"It's kind of a cheap way to get the win," Kamikawa said quietly. "Mike drove a great race and it was a good battle all the way."



Kamikawa and Lack finished ahead of Two-time defending champion John Wiedemann. In fourth was rookie Todd Wolf who won his second heat race in as many starts to advance tot he final. "I'm in way above my head," Wolf said over the radio during the race. In hanging on for fourth, he became the first rookie to win two heat races in his first two starts. Returning racer Nick Bartolone finished fifth and fellow rookie Keith Lindbeck finished sixth.


The LMP event was not as hotly contested, but provided many surprises of it's own. John Wiedemann, again the defending series champion, took pole position.
In the heats JW also took one win. The other heat winner was Nick Bartolone.


Bartolone, a former winner of the 2.4 hour race, made his first ISF start since 2010. Competitive in F1, he surprised some in the field with his speed and handling to win the second LMP race.
"I wasn't surprised," said Wiedemann. He's a good racer."
Another driver making his mark in LMP was Keith Lindbeck.
"I'm not good in F1 cars," he explained. "These LMP cars feel better to me."


One near calamity of the event was the collapse of a stage building in the warehouse district. The building was erected for the set of the movie "KittenZilla Times Two." The production company left the building up. Fans thought it would provide new sightlines and immediately rushed inside only to have their weight on the scaffolding collapse the building.
Driver Todd Wolf was closest to the tumbling tower but was unhurt.


In the end Kamikawa's Black Knight Audi R15 too the victory for the second LMP win of his career. "I still suck in this division. Just not quite as bad as before."



 

The next race is the Muskego Grand Prix at Badger Raceway on November 21st.

Until next time...It's not bad being in the pits!

2014 ISF Rookie & Mega G Rules

Clarification that no one has to provide meal. Drinks would still be great.
IF you want to provide a meal that is up to you but please make drivers aware of that before time.

All the rules the same  for racing except the following:
1. Any rookie driver gets unlimited deslots in heat races, and B-main                               (after every fourth de-slot they will serve a time poenalty just like veteran drivers)
2. Floor rule stays in effect for rookies in B-main and final.
3. Rookie Drivers get 16 deslots in final race instead of 12.
4. At the end of their rookie season, or eigth race whichever comes later, the veteran drivers vote on if they are no longer a rookie (thanks JW for this idea)
5. Drivers that have rookie status revoked by veteran drivers receive four extra deslots per heat and finals for second season only
(no matter if they run once or the whole season)
6. Once a driver completes 16 races or their second season, whichever comes first, they receive the same amount of de-slots as veteran drivers
7. Drivers that return to the league but have more than 16 previous starts (i.e. Cory or Nic)
get an extra four deslots in the heats and finals for the first eight races in the season in which they return or
total of eight races over two seasons if they are part-time racers
8. Drivers who have been away from the series for three years or more and have more than 40 starts (i.e. Chad Sorce or Jim Iverson), receive an extra four deslots in all heat races and finals for one-off races or for a total of five races in their first season if they are returning as full or part-time drivers





After agonizing and many opinions I decided it is time to move to the Mega G chassis for 2013.
GTP will remain the super G+ however F1 and LMP will be the Mega G 1.7 chassis.

After conducting several tests I figured out a way to:
1. make...
the field fair
2. not invalidate previous purchases of Mega G's

F1 and LMP cars must be run box stock including rims, chassis, motors, bodies. The exceptions will be painting and gluing wings that are broken. Both the original Mega G, pictured on the right, and the newer version with the fully enclosed traction magnets, as pictured on the left, will be eligible to run in either F1 or LMP (both bodies use the same chassis).

The difference will be in the tires. Both divisions will be able to run driver's choice of stock tires, pvt01 (the tires we currently use) or the pvt02 (tires used the last year of the ARA superstocks on the lifelikes). In comparing the three tires on stock mega g rims and the new 1.7 chassis version, the lower profile pvt02 tires gripped the best. When compared to a stock tire it gripped a little better, but the stock tire had more top end and glide through the turns while still sticking pretty well. The Pvt01 had more top end and glide than either of the others, however wasn't as grippy. With the variety of tracks the ISF runs on in terms of design and smoothness this will provide an interesting strategy choice. The exception to the tire rule is that if you choose to run the original Mega G, you will not be allowed to run the lower Pvt02 tires. This is because more of the magnet is exposed and sits a little closer to the rails providing better grip even with stock tires. At Rapids the difference between an original Mega G with stock tires and a 1.7 version with pvt02 was very very slight with the 1.7 better in the corners but slower on the straights.

This tire rule does not apply to GTP where the current rule package will remain in effect.

For F1 the rule remains that you can run any team in the history of F1 and can paint the car to match. In LMP there are only two current bodies, Audi R15 and Peugot. You can run any team that appeared at Sebring or Petit LeMans or Road America in the ALMS from 2005onwards.
If you want to run a closed top team you have to use the Peugot body (i.e. Mazda or Astin Martin) if you want to run an open cockpit team (i.e. Porsche, courage, Riley & Scott) you use the Audi body. Since there are multiple Audi teams that have run, there can be multi Audi teams (one designated driving Audi R8, R10, R15, R18) same with other teams. Real teams like Dyson who ran a Lola open cockpit and a Mazda closed cockpit can also be reprensented by two different teams claiming to be Dysons).

Questions?
Feel free to ask.

The Art of Hurling

Sometimes I just have to write about something other than racing or I will go insane. This week gives me the chance to write about a topic I've always wanted to explore, the best barf scenes in movie history!

As a former broadcaster I wasn't allowed to say "barf" on the air, however I can in print! I can also write "puke," "expansive saliva," and "upchuck."

I love vomit scenes in movies. It's not funny when it happens to me, but in the movies I think it is a gas (that is a topic for a future column). Here are the top five best Puke scenes in the movies according to me:

The fifth best regurgitation scene in the movies belongs to:

Team America - World Police.
Generally I can say that try as they might, the creators of South Park can't put together a good movie outside of their fictional Colorado playground, however two scenes steal this movie: the marionette sex scene, and the puke scene.

The hero of the picture has trouble coming to terms with what his country wants him to become. He goes on a bender and falls in the street and pukes yellow liquid all over himself.

When he stops, there is a pause, and then another long pull of puke.

Then another.

Then another.

Then another until finally the camera pulls above him and you see that he is lying in a whole street of slippery esophagus scum.

Two things make this scene a top five selection because I don't believe they have ever happened in the movies before (if movies were baseball there would be someone keeping stats of such a thing): a marionette has never puked in a movie, and we've never seen a helicopter pull away shot from above the puker.

The fourth best "blowing chunks" scene in the movies belongs to:

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Having a person made of yarn vomit, with the vomit material being string coming out of his mouth is probably the cleverest representation of puke that has ever been done and is worth seeing the movie in and of itself. It is a special effect that makes one wonder "how did they do that?" Eat your heart out Industrial Light & Magic.
Star Wars: Phantom Menace could have been improved if someone puked on young Skywalker whenever he walked on film.


The third best scene involving someone "thrusting their stomach contents out of their mouth" in the movies belongs to:

Monty Python: The Meaning of Life.

When Mr. Creosote enters the movie you know there is going to be trouble.

The request for a bucket because he's "got to throw up in it," is only the beginning of a scene that is not for the squeamish.
Be honest. Who among you after eating too much hasn't just wanted to throw up and relieve yourself?
Puking on John Cleese's shoes and the cleaning woman before the scene is thirty seconds old is enough to make any stomach uneasy.
The most disgusting part for me is not the continuous vomit, but John Cleese picking a piece of meat off of Mr. Creosote's ribs (after Creosote has exploded) and eating it!
I believe this scene holds the record for the most barfs in one scene.

The second best "leftover fluid" scene in the movies belongs to:

The Sandlot.


The scene where the kids go to the fair and ride the giant swing while chewing tobacco is a classic not because of seeing the kids puke (which you don't),
but of seeing buckets of brown goo being dumped on the unsuspecting people below!

The kids coming off of the ride with brown vomit stained shirts is a nice touch.

This Disney movie has the second best vomit scene because it wasn't what you saw that made this scene funny; it was what you didn't see! If you actually saw the kids vomit there would be no way that you would believe that all that puke was generated by so little kids.
Since you don't see them however, the director can have fun and exaggerate the scene.
You can relate to this scene because I bet you've been walking near such a ride and hoped (however faintly) that no puke would land your way.

The best "chunky milkshake" scene is in the movie:

Stand By Me



Without a doubt, the "larda**" scene (I can't print that word on this website)
is the greatest barf scene in movie history. By the time the story plays out, you can't help but revel in the fact that Davey Hogan gets his revenge by blowing chunks over Bill the pie eating champion and causing a mass puke-o-rama in the crowd.
It makes you want to jump out of your seat and cheer for Davey's victory,
just like the ending of "Rocky" or "The Karate Kid" made you do.

In terms of total ounces, this scene has to have the largest quantity of "throat goo" in cinema history. The sheer volume and thickness of the puke coming out of the characters mouths also gives this scene the volume (so to speak) to take this scene to the top of the list.

There you have it. A column I've always wanted to write. Thanks for the catharsis!

I hope you were entertained enough by this list to immediately go out to your video source and compare for yourself! Be sure to stuff yourself first, just to see if you can hold all that potential "tonsil turkey" down.

Perkins Exhibit at Rapids Museum

The Rapids Racing Museum recently acquired the cars formerly raced by Indyslotcar star, and ISF starter, Tony Perkins. The cars were put on display in the winners circle outside the museum in a recent weekend tribute to the driver.

"This is a special collection from a beloved driver that we thought would be good to start this new series of spotlighting the machinery of popular drivers," said museum curator D. Riven.
"We were pleasantly surprised as you can see from the above picture. Advance ticket sales were sluggish as I don't think people knew what to expect. Then when word got out you can see the crowds that came!"




This exhibit contains the cars Tony is most famous for including Target and Players.
The one car that no longer exists is the Duracell car, otherwise known in lore as the "working man's car." That car was recycled long ago and is part of the Shine museum on Sanibel Island.






The Perkins Exhibit does contain some rarities from him. The PACWEST starter, and an unknown car mounted in a pit crew display.






Some other cars in this historic collection include the stock cars Perkins races in ARA (American Racing Alliance) competition. The Penzoil and Havoline cars were used in the ARA Superstock division. There was also an unraced TYCO sponsored car that whose chassis was used in other divisions.


Another car was Perkins car from the Heavy Metal Challenge Series division of the ARA. Many of these original NASCAR style cars from the early ARA seasons no longer exist so it is a nice treat for the fans to see this one.
The Perkins exhibit also contained his very own Penske LMP and BMW F1 ISF cars. Perkins made one start in each of these cars. He has four total starts in ISF. The other two being with Arrows ISF F1. Perkins was the last driver as of 2013 to drive for Arrows.


One car that brought a lot of interest was Perkins' Williams Indyslotcar. Back when F1 teams were allowed into Indyslotcar, Perkins thought the original Indyslotcar F1 team of Ferrari needed a rival. Williams was Ferrari's rival in F1 so Perkins led the Williams charge into Indyslotcar. His most famous heat win against all three Penske cars and parties with The Spice Girls were in this period.
Also in the collection was Perkin's ISF test hack. Not ever raced but interesting for fans.
"We couldn't be happier with the fans response to the Perkins exhibit," said D. Riven. "We just got proof that we should do more of these special outdoor exhibits."

Kamikawa Back to Ferrari in 2014


Ferrari ISF announced Ferrari super star Everet Kamikawa will once again pilot one of their Italian marquee's ISF F1 racers in 2014. The deal is believed to be a two year deal.

After swearing that he wouldn't return to the red cars after the prancing horse hired Fernando Alonso the champion was asked why he returned.

"They brought back Kimi in F1 and he is a champion so they did the same with me in the ISF," Kamikawa started explaining. "I hate Alonso because he only won his two F1 titles because in 2005 the FIA changed the tire and pit stop rules to stop Ferrari. Then he won in 2006 because his team cheated for half the season and he had his teammate cut Schumi's tire for good measure at the last race just so Schumi wouldn't be able to end his career with a win. Then the Mclaren design scandal which he was the star turncoat for the FIA. Then Crash gate at Renault where he once again provided the evidence to sell out his team. Now he can't haul Ferrari F1 up the grid. Remember how he couldn't pass Petrov in Abu Dhabi? Now that Kimi is back I feel the team will improve. I don't think it will be pretty. Kimi's calm demeanor will drive the fiery temper of Alonso nuts. Kimi won't give way to Alonso. Alonso will get mad and leave or Kimi will just say screw it and leave. Either way I want a front row seat for this show. Oh yeah, the new car should be pretty good too.

Fitzlaff Doubles Wins in 2014 Opener


Mike Fitzlaff continued where he left off the 2013 ISF season, as the dominant force in the races with wins in the F1 and LMP divisions in the 2014 ISF season opener at the It's Nacho Cheese, It's My Cheese West Bend Grand Prix presented by RacingWisconsin.com.

Fitzlaff took pole positions for both events on a night that featured four rookies, three of which made their ISF debut.
Fitzlaff used the pole positions to put the veterans and rookies to shame as he ran away with the the win in the F1 event over John Wiedemann, Everet Kamikawa, and Mike Lack.

Fitzlaff then converted his pole position to win the LMP season opener by another big margin over Wiedemann, Lack, and third place finisher Mike Dibb making his second ISF start.
"I like these LMP cars more than the F1 cars," Dibb said.



 

Mike Dibb made his ISF debut several seasons ago and returned to the series this year. Dibb has raced in other series and showed confidence in this ISF show when he constantly stared at Mike Lack during their heat race. Dibb said the trick worked before as it did un-nerve the veteran driver Lack. Joining him were fellow rookies Todd Wolf, Kenny Dibb, and Keith Lindbeck.

 

Wolf was nervous before his debut, but steadily gained confidence and finished both the heat race and the semi final in each division. He didn't say much on the night but Wiedemann summed up the driver's debut by telling one reporter that "Todd did a good job and was steady all race and improved."





 
 "This isn't my first rodeo," was Kenny Dibb's comment after qualifying. The rookie driver had a better than average ISF debut by running strong during several stints in the heat races of both classes, while also having bouts of rookie mistakes. 


Lindbeck had a more typical rookie debut with more mistakes than glory, but the new driver making his debut in racing cars did show flashes of speed and a tendency for keeping the paddock loose. Whit his inaugural race "in the can," look for better outings from this driver.

The next race is the Maxim St. Francis Grand Prix at the Inside Edge on October 30th.

Until next time...It's not bad being in the pits!
