That white line gave me a nasty cold. Stupid line.

You too?

*Sniffle, sneeze, cough*

I never saw it on 29th. Was it definitely there?

I was there straight through after BOMO and never saw any workers.

I imagine the line had something to do with the little car course in Turn 1 area... maybe a start/finish line or something?

Can someone post a picture of this thing? Unless there was a line added sometime after the Boston Moto day, I'm not sure what the issue with it is. Again, I'm under the impression that this mysterious line was added sometime after Wednesday because all other painted lines I saw on Wednesday were fine, IMO.

I definitely remember seeing it Wednesday morning. Last time I was on the track before BoMo was during the labor day vintage race and that morning, someone had used water close to the track in that area and a trickle of water about the same width as that line was running at about that same place. First session out on Wednesday, I see what I think is another trickle of water flowing across 1A and it took me a few laps to realize it was most likely the start/finish line that got added for the Nascar Sunday's Legends race!

Lol, yes degsy. The line was there, although I admit it took a few sessions for me to notice it. Once I did see it, I knew exactly what it was for. I also admit to no traction issues due to this line but I think its a dumb place for it.
The one thing that I did notice though is that the pavement is starting to get tore up from what I can only assume is the cars running on the track (not necessarily the legends cars). It's just outside of the bike line but would be right in line with the outside wheels of a car.
So in a nutshell:
-white line doesn't appear to be slippery but seems poorly placed.
-new pavement in 1a falling apart from cars

Wow. I truly never saw it.

[eboos]

I didn't notice it until second practice on Sunday.

[Pittenger5]

I have yet to have seen the white line

well its not just you because I don't recall ever seeing it till watching the races on Saturday. never had a slip on wednesday and didn't slow down any more than normal for t1.

Just a thought, but with declining registrations maybe actively pissing off the people that run the races isn't the best approach.

I think you have that backwards.

When experiencing a decline in business the last thing you want to do is piss off your customers.

It's a 2-way street. However, LRRS has more to lose, as NHMS can probably fill the LRRS time slots.

I cross lots of different lines. This I believe is just the most recent or newest line.

Good chance of that if they are using transponders on the Legends cars as that is their start finish line!

[Io-bot]

A lot of bullshit pot stirring and drama over a god damn line on the track that doesn't bother 99% of the riders out there.

And Daviid, way to start a shit storm about an organization that you say you don't like and the track that you say you hate and never race at... if you have some positive and constructive criticism please share, otherwise, no point in acting like a child.

*Sniffle, sneeze, cough*

Yup. Feel like crap still, since Monday.

Oddly enough, had a dream last night that I was taking a shit in some crappy little bathroom and you walked in and were pissed since you had to shit but I was on the pot. It was nice seein ya!

It was there during the Bomo day. I saw it. You really should be straight up and down over it.
I Had no issues with it but thought it might be sketchy in the wet.

[Doc]

I had great supprt my first weekend. Low down racing as it was kown back then all helped me out huge!!! Can't ever thank them enough.

I think this is a great idea and I would love to help out someone new to racing. The first weekend can really be intimidating!!!

I remember bringing up the same idea a couple years ago and it getting squashed for some reason.

I think since Penguin is actually the organization that intros the new racers, handles their signups, etc, maybe approaching Penguin about this would make more sense? it would seem they'd be more likely to be able to easily maintain a list of "volunteer mentors," and match them with students who are going to stay after Friday for the weekend.

[CBR929RE]

I don't care which group it goes through I think its a good idea. I know Rambunctious has helped a few people on here on their first weekend. If I decide to race next year this is the kind of thing I'd appreciate also.

[Chippertheripper]

brett, you have a home across from the t3 bleachers.
