A Racing Video, Why there are rules Options

[KenH]

This is for those who:

1. Do not have time to go to Ground School
2. Think the Rules of racing should be ignored
3. Think the are to many rules
4. Think a "steet car" is good enough
5. Wonder why they need to have a few sessions with an instructor
6. Why extra safety equipment is required

The drivers in this video are VERY experienced - what if it had been you???

Hi Rob,

Like pretty much everyone else, my work schedule often dictates what events I run. That's why with TM, NCRC, GGR, SVR I want them all to be successful as it affords me maximum opportunity to play.

I agree with your most recent post, and I'm hoping the Time Trial series can appeal to folks who like track days and still retain the TT opportunities. Basically make it easy to cross pollenate, if you will.

And I agree with you on the new points system. I understand the arguments for implementing the system as it addresses many of the late model cars that didn't show up in the old classifcations. But I did not support the adoption of the new rules. You can run in a point system scheme in NASA, SCCA, etc or lap with TM and NCRC against different cars. In PCA, the old system let us run against similar model types (e.e. 914's, 911's. 944's to make it simple). Several folks I have talked to miss that part of the classifications. And to make it doubly curious, the folks that implemented the new points class system no longer run their cars in PCA...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It would have been more effective to fight and / or modify if the other regions DID NOT adopt the points system. But GGR has mass and this was evidence of that mass, maybe not in the most constructive way.

Life goes on. Higher track prices, arguments on what is safe and what isn't, and possibly the death of Time Trials in Zone 7....ahhh...real life.
