NO NEGATIVE POSTS IN THE CHATROOMS GUYS

[Doc]

Recieved. Thanks.
I was thnking about a New Racer Mentor Program. Maybe a list of volunteers that would allow a new racer to pit next to them. Show them where grid sheets are, time sheets, tech, practice, etc. remove some of that anxiety new racers have. Won't put fans in the stands but may have some small impact on the size of our grids. Opinions?

ps. brian from plymouth could be the first mentored

It has been brought up in the past...

[butcher bergs]

E-mail does nothing when the response has always been "we'll look into it".

Just sayin'...

Could it have been a coincidence that it was cold as a witches tit and most of those 5 crashes were novice?

BINGO! I rode the entire day yesterday in steady rain and didn't have a single slip in T1A.

How many of these crashes were on the second lap (since you don't cross the white line on your out lap from pit out)?

[TTD]

BINGO! I rode the entire day yesterday in steady rain and didn't have a single slip in T1A.

I rode 5 sessions with BOMO on the 29th in the dry and never even knew it was there.

I heard Eric Wood mention it later, and when it rained on Wednesday (yesterday) I thought for sure we would have a crashfest.

In the end, I think we put about a total of 60 bikes on track yesterday - roughly 6 hours of wet track time - and no Turn 1a crashes.

(lots in Turn 2, but that's pretty normal)

So that white line was there on 9/29?

It was 11 and 2 that claimed 99% of the "victims".

Should we blame that on the line in 1A? :

I'm with ya, never saw it that day

[butcher bergs]

I'm confused here....I'm under the impression that there was an additional white line added somewhere after T1 in addition to the lines near the pavement transition going into T1.

Are the only lines in question the ones on the old pavement?

yup, i'm sure it was the cause of your crash though. threw you off in 1A and you just never fully got back together?

something like that anyways.

I found it, ran over it a bunch of times, and never once felt any slippage, even in the first couple of damp sessions on the 29th.

I was running older Dunlop qualifyer street tires on the 600r too. maybe it's a tire issue?

[The Snowman]

Typical

Especially in the rain.

you wouldn't have noticed it sitting next to the wall in the bowl.

oh wait too soon?

[eboos]

oh wait too soon?

Not too soon. We were busting his balls immediately after it happened.

[Chippertheripper]

That's cuz you threw that massive rock where I wanted to be. ya just the same.

[R1]

Confucius say,

when life hand you white line, grab straw....

[rolker]

I'm sure it's the white line in 1A that caused my engine to grenade going into the bowl...

mental note, purchase a decal with "Jim Sucks" and put it on the tail of the SV.

Exactly. I didn't notice it then either, didn't know about it until the Sat rider's meeting when Eric Wood mentioned it.

You just don't learn, do you? Your position (and that of others who share it) is, quite simply, inane. If you want to suck up to NHIS corporate to promote your track day business relationship, do it somewhere else. ...or at least be honest about it.

I am not going to argue on the internet.

If it makes you feel better "You win"

This place NESR that is has really gone to shit lately.

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!!!
