learn you not to hit the shit.
the reason they are there is so there is less dirt riding and tearing up of tarmac

cones can't do the same thing? come one now, people are fucking up their bumpers on those barrels.

you should atleast run it by them, after all this is what this thread is about. That would atleast hold some type of productiveness besides "learn you not to hit the shit"

let me word it better for you

they put more money in the small amount of pavement then they made in the past 3 events. They want it to cure correctly, part of that is us not dirt dropping hten going back on the pavement on the edges. For them to use cones, people would mow them down. With barrels, it makes you think twice about not using a little more of the 4 extra feet they laid.

so yes, when i tell you learn not to hit the shit, Learn not to hit the shit

what are you going to do when we move to having walls as inner apexes like one of the 3 lines we are looking at for summer incorporate? Gonna wanna move that back? no, you will use more track and not hit the shit.

clipping points are supposed to be a "near miss" not hit and break your bumper. if you do, charge it to the game.

that being said, im with them on the decision to have the barrels to deter cutting the corner and damaging the brand new pavement. you should be too nad not hit it

[Stroker-Porsche]

Put a cone just inside the barrel as a buffer for those that are barrel challenged.

smh


ill do that though. next time, we will have barrels where they are, and cones as the clipping point. Would that be better? (seriously, not being a smartass)

[jhicks]

What are the chances they could add some dirt to the outside of the new pavement? Its a pretty far drop from the asphalt to the dirt. Apparently I got on two wheels when I dirt dropped and my frame hit the pavement. I know the idea is to stay on the track but stuff happens. Nothing fancy, just some dirt packed down. I realize laying dirt in itself can get expensive, but it wouldn't hurt to run it by them, I suppose

seems like a good idea. but i deff agree with leaving the barrels in place to deter people from running off track.

and if anything was said.. oops for smashing the shit outta that barrel with the front bumper on my first pass. i noticed it was still dented in later in the day.... that blower scoop had my depth perception of the frontend of the car WAY off at first...

no.
becuase thats how we destroyed the last pavement. STAY ON THE PAVEMENT. if we keep tearing it up he will kick us out.
Hence why he spent the money to widen the track. only two people went off while drifting, the rest just ran off, so its isolated to a few instances.

nah dude. i told tim to be prepared for any barrels on teh track to get destroyed. He said he didnt care. and that was like the first event i suck phallic objects. beat the shit outta em

[jhicks]

Yo, is there anything we could do to not have such a huge line of cars waiting to drift? At the last practice there was 35 drivers and there ended up being a lot of waiting. Perhaps separate the drivers into two groups based on when they sign up to drive? We all get numbers on our driver stickers so the even numbered drivers could run together and odds run together. This would help you have more runs closer together and be able to eat, go to the bathroom, change tires, etc without having to lose as much seat time. The groups just swap back and forth after so many runs. You wouldnt have to spend most of the day sitting in the staging lane. Obviously competitions are a different story. Any thoughts?

[freshlikesushi]

um.. that isnt a bad idea. let me think it over and figure it out.

the problem is, guys will want to be together, and then i have to make sure THOSE guys are in the same group, and it could possibly make it uneven. ill work on it

it is a good idea.

[240LSX]

What about the possibility of more seat time now that the days will be getting longer and the sun does'nt set till around 7. I wasn't at the last practice but from what I heard seat time wasn't an issue. Possibly more time for the event days?
