Why all this talk about pit-in safety???

Great video. Folks don't realize how damn important proper Pit In and Pit Out is at the racetrack. That guy is a JOKE and lucky people didn't get seriously hurt.

If you have ANY QUESTIONS on where to pit in then DO NOT get on the track. Talk to someone who's involved with the day (Control Rider, Instructor, etc) and make sure you understand fully before getting on track. If you are on track and confused, TAKE ANOTHER LAP.

That behavior is excusable. Thanks for posting Derek.

Oreo laughed at me one day while he was corner working because I signaled before I came in. Combination of first practice and rain meant I was the only guy out there. I dont know I dont typically look behind me so tossing my arm up just felt natural even if I was the only one out there.

I remember that... ONLY guy on the track & up goes the arm!

And I thought it was a riot because it perfectly exemplified just how ridiculously automatic safety stuff like that can become for those that actually pay attention to and adhere to the rules & regs that are in place to protect us, NOT because I thought it was dumb

Though I DID think it was silly... but in a good way! Kudos, brutha James. I wish MORE people were as anal about pit in/out procedures as you are!
