Jeez. That sucks. They had problems all day. I was hanging out with them at their San Vicente pit (enjoying Dog Eater's delicious carne asada, thanks Dog Eater!) and the truck lost power steering crossing over from VD Trinidad and they worked their butts off to get that thing fixed and accross the finish line.

With only 6 minutes of speed penalties it's obvious that they were conscious of the rule and trying to keep it under 60mph. If there was guaranteed 100% accuracy on the IRC tracker speed I'd have no sympathy.

But when there's even a slight possibility of a misreading........ for example on the 2008 Baja 1000 update thread: "IRC 745 Brandt Anderson says 567 mph!!!! prepare for LUDICROUS SPEED!!! hahahaha." I know for a fact I wasn't going 567mph in a little 7s truck....that thing tops out at 520.

I realize the online tracking is different than the official tracking that SCORE sees. But when the difference between a DNF and a 1st place finish could literally be due to 1 bad, or a few close readings, when you're obviously not one of those who was abusive (19x) that just really sucks.

I'm not saying SCORE can or should be making any exceptions. That would ruin their credibility in the whole situation. This is what they have to do to make their point. I'm just saying that the guys and gals who are suffering from the collateral damage in this whole situation should get at least some unofficial sympathy from us.

Thats total bull**BAN ME****BAN ME****BAN ME****BAN ME** on SCORE. How can you give them a DNF when they raced all day and had major problems and fixed the truck and got it to the finish line with 3 MIN to spare on timing out!! Not to mention they were the only truck to finish in the class. What so they went 61 mph in like 2 spots to get a 6min penalty?? Thats crap and SCORE is a joke if they are going to enforce stuff like that and take away hard earned finishes from people. How do you know how accurate the stupid IRC unit even is to say that its accurate enough within 1mph to be able to give someone a dnf because of it.

They need to come up with a better way for sure. This is a joke lol

I think score should come out with a GOOD demo of how the IRC works, a comparative video against the most common GPS, No body knows how accurate it is! If we are all paying for it we should at least know how it works? how it gets calibrated (if it does)? etc. etc. etc.

Just my 0.02

You cant because there is no screen on the IRC units to see what its transmitting. Only a green "working" light.

who cares about the highway... dont speed i want to know about the course how far is to far and how lost is to lost? if this is the new SCORE they need to adopt BITD rules no pre run. no chase just pits in pit locals...the speeding is easy to fix but the couse stuff whats legal and whats not???
