QUOTE(jt914-6 @ Aug 22 2013, 08:23 AM)  Then the safety steward(s) were not doing their jobs or at least not able to them correctly with the size of lot used. I know all to well the issues of finding a big enough lot to cover all of SCCAs rule for autocrossing. I have had to be the "bad guy" when it came to course design because of safety issues. Our region has a hard time finding big enough lots that the owners will let us use. The one thing I have learned is you need twice as much runoff room at the finish then you think. We had a guy a few years ago come through finish and slid over 110 feet backwards. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I still have no idea how he came through so fast, the course was designed to slow you down before the finish. I sure wouldn't want to have to right up that report to SCCA national. This is what causes our insurance rates to keep going up every year. I know stuff happens and people want to drive fast, but you need to have a nice flowing design. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) There should also be something else in play here. Anytime you walk an event and see an unsafe situation you should report it to the head cheese. To be honest, I've never seen a situation where a reported unsafe situation wasn't corrected. The problems come when people don't know what to look for as far as unsafe conditions, so recommend everyone read Roger Johnson's SCCA presentation on Autoxing.. |
