At this point I don't care. I am going out tomorrow and try some new settings on my car. I plan to have fun. I blame the club not all of individuals. I would probably have run my car had I been there and given the green light to do so. The club should have the etics to not let this occur. It's in the SCCA handbook clear as a bell.
If you read what I said the only issue I have is that they let people run the course as it was set up for the next day event. I took a poll on another forum and it was unheard of to let anyone run the course the day in advance (even backwards). In any other club you would not collect a time the next day. Think about it, they won’t let you ride along in a car before you run BUT you are allowed to pre run the course the day before. I am not whinning. Also, for the record I have not been rude or discourteous to anyone in my posts. I have just stated the facts as I know or understand them. When I was frustrated I went to the club president. I did not protest anyone, I did not raise a ruckus in the drivers meeting. I did not call out any names on the forum. Yes I did post my concerns on a public forum. I was kinda hoping that someone reputable from the club would explain what is going on. That has not occurred. Oh, and I was not talking about you being fast (sorry, not trying to slam you). “All the fast drives” have been to national events and know that this is a hugely unfair advantage. It figured that they would know better then to let people pre run the course in the same direction. I also did not say that they drove a lot in there cars (not that it matters). You are still in the learning stages just like most of us here. I don’t begrudge you for running your car. I too crave seat time but I don’t think it should come on the same course we are all running the next day in the same direction we are running the course. And YES they could have run it backwards. That would have not been a big deal at all. That is what should have occurred. Yes, I was mad and maybe I could have found a better way to deal with this. Don’t really know.
