this thread is for everyone who experienced power interruptions during their enduro runs...

lemme start

9 hours around tsukaba


i could just cry...

8:53:47 in to the race, the power trips and everything turns to black, and back on again.

was already leading by at least 10 laps over a lovely RX-7 Spirit, using my TVR 350. half a-spec, half b-spec.


gone in a split second.


rainy season here in manila (philippines) can mean sudden downpours and thunderstorms. oh well, here we go again.

I have my console plugged into a UPS just for that reason. It won't help if the power is out for a few hours, but a blink or even a 10-20 minute outage and I am still in business. Just don't put the TV on the UPS too 'cause they draw a lot of power...

restarted the race. hoping that the power won't fluctuate again.

UPS sounding like a great idea... good thing i'm done with the 24h races.

any of you guys have had the same experience?

That's the reason we use B-Spec... no guarantee of more than two or three hours continuous power during the rainy season... ...I keep expecting the power to go out whenever I'm saving... so I'm glad it doesn't!
