Back when I used to setup courses for our sports car club auto-x's (Cal Poly SLO) we always had a scale map of the parking lot that we used to lay out the course. Then we drove a big pink eraser like an idiot might drive just to see what could happen. It was very low tech but it worked - it showed what could happen if someone hammered the throttle and lost it.
The only thing that ever happened was some of the guys from Tilton came out with a customers car (a Nissan Skyline that was being fitted with a prototype clutch - silly thing was so fast I couldn't keep my feet on the floorboards at full throttle) and lost it so bad that they took out our timer (and the cinder block that was holding the reflector)) They had lots of fun getting a new rocker panel from Japan overnight to repair the car before the customer found out. |
