    I wonder who told them to stand there? ALWAYS look at the racing line and see if you could be in the line of fire. You cannot blame the driver. Stupid corner workers for stand there. If the course designer told them to stand there, than he is an idiot. Regarless I'd move.

    You guys notice how quickly the car "falls" off the course. Looks like the course workers were not even up on the course. Looks like they didn't have enough run off room in the course design.

    Damn, thats rough...


    That reminds me of the time I was at TMS Bus Lot(SCCA), working the course. Somebody spun out & utterly destroyed this corner & the idiots never red flagged the course! I went out to pick it all up by the time I got there I realized the course was still hot & got the hell off the track. I looked over & the 2 guys with the radio, not 30 feet away were just chilling, not even looking at the track, I was mad as hell.

    That was like my 2nd or 3rd race, back when I was a n00b & assumed that the people with radios had some sense.

    I think/hope SCCA is getting more sensitive to that issue. I was at an SCCA event at Pennington last year. The idiot with the radio was sitting in the shade under the trees with radio and flag in hand. I made him get his ass up!

    So, how many seconds do you lose if you hit one of those light poles?

    Only one, generally, but there's a good chance you'll also take out 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and reverse...

    Do you think it might do any harm if I were to rev it to about 8500rpm and dump the clutch in 6th?
