OK folks, let's get to voting. Can we get this wrapped up in a week, please?
If you're planning to vote (meaning you're planning to attend), please do so by the end of Sunday, Oct 9. We'll call it at that point. @SirAndy - Andy, could you color this up so it's nice and noticable? Votes are in: WCR2023 will be in Lake Tahoe, CA/NV, hosted by Rob @ConeDodger |

Voted for Tahoe as leaving your home town- Petaluma- is good for the soul! That said, Chris could put on a hell of a WCR! Oh… any combustion issues at Tahoe elevation and higher for carbed cars? Lake Tahoe is up at 6200 feet so yes, carbed cars will need jet changes at a minimum to run properly at that elevation. The other two Tahoe events we really didn’t have anyone with problems related to jetting. I myself ran carbs at that point in my cars evolution and didn’t have problems. Of course, I’m one foothills just east at 4500’ so not terribly dramatic difference between lake level and my own driveway. The only car that didn’t run at all was Jamie Rust’s Creamsicle and I don’t think it ever came off the trailer. Not sure why, I was busy running the event. I should have been more specific. Cars tuned from sea level up to ~2000' will need changes. The closer your tune elevation is in relation to Lake Tahoe, the less dramatic the change will be in mixture. Cars tuned within 3000' will probably be fine for the few days up there, but I know for sure a car tuned at lower elevation will have issues. I'm dialed in at about 300' with 40 IDFs, and the car looses a notable amount of power when I go up to 4000' or more. Even my wife's L-Jet gets unhappy above 4000', but will still chug along. |
