Day ends with a protracted big bore race. A mustang went in hard triggering an extended shutdown. Driver apparently only hurt his ankle.

Racing pro tip: save weight by draining the engine oil.

1/ so the SCCA is imposing a new rule this year (the SCCA is the automotive Road Racing club where i work as a tech inspector.)
going forward all cars are required to have a forward facing camera, and if the racing stewards request video while investigating incidents, drivers will be expected to cough up the video.

a major part of my life for 25+ years has been working as a tech inspector at SCCA Club Racing events. i typically serve as chief of specialty at 1 or 2 events a year (at my peak i was chiefing 4 a year), and spent 3 years as the divisional administrator, which was mostly approving license upgrades and doing some teaching.
most of what we do is safety; there is less rules compliance (cheating) work than you might think if you're used to watching racing on the teevee.

Continuing with Forza's FORDZATHON, we've got the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, a naturally aspirated beauty created to compete with Chevrolet's rising Z/28 Camaro and destined for homologation. While its production specs claim a respectable 290hp from the 4.9L V8, it's known for feeling much punchier (and often posting higher numbers on the dyno.)
