I'd like to see any other two driver team comply with a 2 minute rule. That's just ridiculous.

I will agree that this weekend had small heats and it's tough on 2 driver cars, but it has happend far to often at other events and it's not fair to the corner workers. Doing setup it does not effect me very much. Maybe you can run in different heats when we have a small turnout.

Again, there seem to be plenty of reasonable solutions to this, but lets not put all the blame on the Yellow Vette. It has happened many times with other drivers too. It sounds like splitting-up the runs, more planning in grid/run order and maybe a miss-it-lose-it rule can solve all these issues. It is good for this to be discussed rather than just grousing about it. :)

I think you will do great things for the North Texas Region. :clap:

Foley is right about the 5 minute rule for 2 driver cars....

I just would like to apologize on behalf of Chris Fleming and myself for keeping everyone out there a little bit longer as well on Saturday...The first heat was ended before we took our final PAX runs. I never like to be the reason corner workers are out there longer. We did a flying driver change at the start line to cut down on time.

Not that it matters & isn't really the issue here, but ER doesn't have the "5 minutes between drivers" rule.

That's from SCCA rules.

I actually like doing course setup. I don't like getting there that early and rushing to get the car setup, but I actually think it helps me since I walk the course more.

Fun event! I love Mineral Wells! Not sure about the 2 day format.

I have worked a corner with you when one of the mod cars were taking his sweet time making his last runs and you were as mad as anyone.

I tried to not comment any more but I had to make one last comment. I will not comment about this again on the forum before it gets out of hand the way things tend to do on forums.

How about the corner workers each get to take a fun run in one of the offending driver's cars while the offending drivers work the corners? ::BaHump::
