Hey guys,
Sorry for leaving IT after I dropped the "no more washer bottles" bomb!
But I was thinking about it today with my old racing buddies, and I want to know -- over the last 3 seasons, did the sky fall?
I almost bought another Z3 Coupe today and it got me reminiscing about IT :-)
Cars are faster, records have fallen, competition is closer. Those damn washer bottles were screwing up EVERYTHING! Good riddance! I don't even have bad breath anymore.
Three years? There are active competitors who still think we have washer bottles. I saw a post on the brown board last week complaining about it.
People were insane to think that if the VIN rule didn't cause a meltdown that washer bottles would even be a blip.
actually Ed I think it's deterioration of your sense of smell :)Quote:

IT entries have been decreasing consistently over that time, so yeah - that's a logical conclusion, that washer bottles are to blame.
Thanks, Obama! ;)

Some claimed it'd be the tip of the iceberg that would sink IT. Turns out it wasn't.
Some claimed it would be the salvation of the category. It wasn't.

And I just argued against the ones who thought the ship would go down.Quote:

GCR clearly states that water bottles may only be mounted adjacent to nitrous bottles on center console.:dead_horse:
Clearly the ITA MR2 got a bigger advantage from removing their bottles, since one beat me the last time I raced. I think they need to gain some weight...
I "tuned out" the last few years after my car got re-classed and overweighted, but now back due to some glimmers of hope with weight adjustments! - So seriously the washer bottle thing is now a non issue? that's nice. Lets get a new pointless discussion for the next decade - Battery Relocation! hahahhaha!
I really believe unless you are making it to the top 4-5, than it does not matter what you have done to your car.
Since I(last place) am not losing because what you did/didn't do to your car. As long as everyone is having fun and even a good race with someone in another class, that is all that matters.
