If you see the dust behind the RPM truck..It is possible that he went straight out of the track and he was returning to the correct route..dont you think this a posibility??

Racer dude,

Your quote "A captain of a fire crew told me once that you outrun a siren at 55mph. How many times have you not heard or seen a siren / lights and been spooked or feel like crap because the ambulance/ fire truck/ or police car has passed you on a normal city street?" might be a bit off.

The general consensus on earth is:

In dry air at 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound is 340.00 metres per second (1,115 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph), or about one kilometer in three seconds or approximately one mile in five seconds.

Just an FYI, Thanks

Perhaps you should go and read about the "doppler effect" (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler. It goes way back to 1842...

Basically it explains the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren or horn approaches, passes, and recedes from an observer. The received frequency is higher (compared to the emitted frequency) during the approach, it is identical at the instant of passing by, and it is lower during the recession.

when the observer is also moving in the same direction as the source of the sound wave the effect would be magnified...

Physics are annoying huh?

where is hudson hall when you need him

Normal Physics do not apply to Hudson Hall. Especially gravity.

Luckily he was so far out in the bushes that he was further away than the cars in the track. Looks like a clean pass to get out if the dust to me.

Actual video would answer that question

[Choptechfab]

I know I wish someone would just post the vid already.

Agreed we need to see the video for the court of RDC to have enough info for a jury decision. Right now we are hung....

Thanks to the DGAF"s , way to posibly keep my kids from being able to race there in the future. I hope BLM or Casey just takes action like Arizona did on the two campers that broke the rules and left a campfire and it started our biggest wildfire ever ,instead of closing the forrest down to all campers. Guess being to wide and stabbin a tire at post tech is minimal now.

By the way not one but 2 dead turtles were found here,

Is this a joke or are you being serious?

[notime]

Your right Pete-RPM was just stepping out to pass, I agree with you!
By the way not one but 2 dead turtles were found here, You can probably just kiss the Mint 400 goodbye!

what about the other tire marks we can see on htat picture, are BITD gonna review every car IRC box to find out who else did some cutcorners, also i was sure somebody else said something about the TURTLES..... here they are

The BLM drove the entire course Sunday morning to free the Tortises that had been in jail over night....If you think they dont know exactly where trucks ran off course you are mistaken. They drive it the day before the race and the day after. At least with a picture they can track down at least one of the offending parties.

The BLM doesnt just show up the day of the event, frusterate people and disappear until the next race. They are in the desert for weeks prior to an event. they are there weeks after an event. Knowing the team assigned to Southern Nevada, most could probably tell what class racer and what tire they were running when they did it.

The pictures will not affect the outcome of racing - The behavior will.
