Toye has done a 1:46.169... so Joey has lap record for 600s by a country mile, but not an outright track record?

I'm not sure. That article says three mile circuit, and our configuration is 2.72 miles. AFM vs WERA, etc.

 

[Tigre13]

Didn't realize config 13 CCW was only 2.72 miles... always thought it was 3 or 3.0...

Anywho...

WERA West runs the same configuration as AFM.

 

[eeeeek]

I've learned a lot since I started running the track. Buttonwillow is 2.72 miles.

Thunderhill, which I was always told was 3 miles, is 2.82 miles.

 

[Tigre13]

Ha! I thought FOR SURE T-Hill was 3.1.

Very good to know.

So... back to the lap record... feels like someone should correct the releases in RRW. Not to slight Joey's times -- he was unbelievably fast and dominant, ridiculously so for being on a 600 -- but out of deference to Toye's accomplishment from 2010.

(of course other arguments can be made about condition of asphalt, partial repaves, etc., etc.)

BW is the only track in which a 600 has won (twice) an FP race. It tends to say that the 1000 is not as well suited to BW as our other tracks. Agreed it was a heck of a win by the former Daytona 200 Champion, come to think of it that other AFMer to accomplish the feat was also a Daytona 200 winner. Well done.

 

[Tigre13]

Rob, Who Is The Other 600 Fp Winner?
(Apologies For Bad Capitalization)

 

[Tigre13]

My Guess Is Rapp... Close?

 

[Jello_Biafra]

Siggy did it like 10 years ago.

 

[Tigre13]

Is that right? I don't remember anymore and can't find the race results pre-2008...

Siggy did it like 10 years ago.

Steve Rapp won in 1997 or 99. Siggy had a podium on a 600, but was disqualified

 

[Tigre13]

I thought I remembered Tigert on the podium in FP on a Honda 600, as well... did that happen?

Haha! For weaving in front of Mesa!

Thanks, Berto. They'll be a lot better in the future as now I know all the RRW rules and how to more efficently export the race results to a usefull format. I actually expected RRW to reject my original submission with recommendations of format and content changes, but <poof>, they took the first submission.

Great job, Vik. Thanks for doing that for us.

 

[RacerRob]

Steve Rapp ...... and I believe it was 2000

Arrghh, sorry Faulty memory bank ... probably 98.

 

[Holeshot]

Vik, Swartz is a perfectionist when it comes to submissions! Congrats mang!

 

[moxie619]

Martin's run off was in Open GP, not Open SB. FWIW.

Nice job on the write up, Vik. Thanks, it is good to see AFM in RRW again.

Great press release for round 5, Vik. Very well done. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news...wins-afm-formula-pacific-race-at-thunderhill/
