New Format & Passing Guidlines for MSR III

[Miatamaniac92]

From Merv:
"I was trying to get everyone lots of track time and
allowing more aggressive driving, but I guess that's
not what you want. You certainly don't seem to let it
bother you on the streets, so I really don't
understand....

No matter, we will chnge the rules. As of now, this
is what it will be:

1. Three groups - allows more seperation of skill
levels, but less track time. If there are a few that
want the extra track time, I will look at it on a
case-by-case basis and give you time up or down from
your group, BUT you will have to abide by that groups
passing rules.

2. Passing in Group one - anywhere.

3. Passing in Group two - only on the three straights,
but signaling not required.

4. Passing in Group three - only on the front and back
straights - signaling required.


I hope this is satisfactory to everyone. Please let
me know.
Merv"

Geez I had already figure out what I was going to do and it changes....

Did you guys see the 9 to 10 page deal on Miatas @ MSR III?? There is some great information in there about car set-up as well as a detailed overview of the event!

On key thing I noticed on item 7:

7. Group 1 may pass anywhere that allows for a clean, safe pass. For group 2, passing is only allowed on the three longest straights (see track map).

As an Autocrosser who doesn't have experience with passing, I'm going to sign up for group 2.

YMMV

Yea but with my luck I'd get smashed by some no money / no insurance student....

Three groups works better for me I was having a hard time picturing 25 Miata on course at the same time!

I'll be there now. I was in the same camp as Mick. I have no desire to race on 635, I do that on a daily basis and it is not fun at all. I'll be starting in the slow group and then see if I need to work my way up.

I'll be there now.

Cool!
I'm still trying to decide where I'm going to ask to be put. Defiantly not in expert pass anywhere group, but the slow group also concerns me. If they have no experience at MSR at all that makes me nervous! Decisions Decisions!

Same here.

I think if I'm in the beginner group I'll be up most people's butts but if I go to the intermediate group, I fear everyone will be up my butt!

[Miatamaniac92]

So which do you prefer?
