I forgot to stop the camera so the battery ran out and the memory card filled up. :v Wow, I knew the event was bad rainwise, but I didn't know it was that bad. Glad I didn't have to flag this event. Hopefully things are better weather wise at the IMG event this weekend. By the way, did you ever get the hot brake issue sorted out?

That and crossing over the entire track to exit the tarmac when you realize you have a leak. That being said, it is still better than the guy a few years ago who decided to park his Esprit on a short straight, then proceed to exit the car onto a hot track, and start working on his engine. We had to black flag all, and when he came in, he didn't understand why what he did was wrong.

Well, with the first prototype unveiled at the annual Entropy Racing party, I can now show off Entropy Racing's latest project, the Electric Vehicle Sports Racer. The EVSR is a electric sports race that has been built by Entropy Racing, my stepdad's race business. So far the first car is completed and work has begun on the second car. You can check out more about it here. The two cars are slated to hit the track this upcoming season so the northeastern US racers here have a pretty good chance of seeing them, especially at an IMG event. http://evsr.net/ jadebullet fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Feb 4, 2014 |

I believe the goal was a couple of full sessions a day on one charge. Not 100% sure though. I will have to get back to you on the exact length of the charge.

That is a good question. We normally just hook our trailer up to the tracks power sockets with an extension cord, but I don't think that that is how these will be charged. I will let you guys know though. Here is a good picture of the Entropy Racing fleet of Spec Racer Renaults. These are actually rental cars. My stepdad hauls these cars to the track and rents them to customers. The main hauling vehicle is a 1951 LaFrance Foamite Ladder truck converted into a car hauler. We also have a Freightliner with trailer, the Chevy truck in the background which pulls a trailer, and an ambulance which is now used by the Independent Motorsports Group, a group that my stepdad is the race chair of, and helped start. C355n4 might know more since he probably spends more time at the shop than I do. The Toyota Sports Racer and Caterham Super 7 are customer cars that Entropy Racing maintains and hauls to the track as well.  I will be talking to my stepdad tomorrow about the EVSR so that I can give you guys more information about it, as well as how we are going to charge them at the track. Here is the website which has more pictures. http://entropyracing.net/ http://imgracing.com/ jadebullet fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Feb 4, 2014 |

Yup, they are former Spec Racer Renaults. We used to have some Fords a few years ago, but they were sold off and more Renaults were purchased and made into ESRs. Thanks for the quick write up c355n4, you have actually seen the car more than I have and know more about it at this time. I suggested that they mount a thick fake antenna on the rear of it, complete with one of those rubber knobs, but it looks like my idea for them to make it look like an RC car was ignored.
