Re: Slack in the Overpass

If the crossover drops two inches, you are going to hear a very loud crash when we go around. Luckily we can easily adjust our height, however, do both sides of the overpass drop the same amount? We will be fine if the crossover is held to +/- an inch, much more than that could cause trouble. We designed according to the specifications, if it looks like it ends up having more of a +/- 1.5 inches for a three inch range from one side to the other, that may cause problems for us and I am guessing several other teams. We would be fine if each side is kept within an inch or two of eachother to even +/- six or seven inches of the stated 78 inch height. How many flags are hitting the overpass? Will we be able to measure the overpass or could the field administration take measurements several times during the day and annouce/post the actual high and low points to the bottom of the tubing for clearance?
