Viper Cup and Versus

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I got a chance to watch the second race today. Since it was at ******* I didn't get a chance to hear the sound but it looks like Versus did a great job.

Next is Hallet. Versus will be airing Sun Sept 5 at 3:30pm. Everybody mark your calendars and tune in.

Entire schedule is here...
Dodge Viper Cup | A newly-developed spec series exclusively for the new Viper ACR-X

It would be nice if they showed more of the entire field and not just the first 3 cars. Hopefully Hallett will be a little better.

I agree, but at least you guys got to see something-they listed bull rideing here. I also don't like the way speed and other channels often list positions by drivers names. Many of us don't follow some of the raceing closely enough that we are familiar with which make of car the drivers drive. They also tend to give very little time to the middle and back of the pack in raceing.

Did they not post or mention lap times during the broadcast or did I miss it??

They posted qualifying times in the beginning.

I just watched the first race that I recorded earlier. I liked Ben Keating's burnout while the canadian guy announcer who used to co-host the car resto program on Sunday mornings talked about the race series.

Can anyone tell me how the heck you pronouce his last name? I have always wondered

thanks

Totally agree with you there. At least, in this race, they are all my favorite drivers, and my favorite make/model of car won ! (Actually, I do have a local favorite, and am rooting for him; but, the other guys have a lot more wheel-to-wheel experience to catch up to !)

It is such a small series and TV audience, we should be able to get our feedback back to the show's producers somehow.

Corey Vetzsuk is my favorite driver, too bad he won't be back

So I have a question, did they dyno the ACR-Xs to make sure they all have the same power? I figure the drivers determine their final alignment settings which means the difference of a second or two amongst the field per lap....correct?

Do they do reverse qualifying to grid the cars too?

Regards,
Aaron

They didn't do the reverse grid for the second race. I wish they would. I'd like to see them come up with a points formula where you could opt to start further back and get points for how far you moved up in addition to final position points.

Anyone know what the mechanical problems were on the ones that DNF'd?
