anybody selling spots yet or what?
do we have dedicated worker shifts for Yellow Flags and such?
it might help to avoid the delays of full course RED flags.

This is a good time to remind everyone: If you don’t sign that back page of the PDF and hand it to me on track day, you will NOT be allowed on the track.
Yeah we originally intended to make a tech form, but never did. I really need to update it.

I have the tech form already made, we just never added it to the pdf 
I can convert it sometime over the weekend and send it to you to host.

There are two options:
-
The people participating volunteer to work the track
-
Status quo (or, no corner workers per se).
Well, at least I proved I read the document. 
Assuming the visibility is good like at TMP, my vote is no on the corner workers. For the speeds we’ll see, and the spacing we’ll have on cars (no passing in corners etc) people shouldn’t have a problem spotting trouble ahead and slowing down accordingly.
Dunville is flat, you can see the whole track. If you sit on top of your SUV, or if they alow you on the roof patio, then you can really see everything.
Are we going to be doing any informal timing or would the owners of the track have a problem with that? I seem to recall something like that last year.
Sam, they have an AMD transponder setup on the track now, if you have your own becon you can hook up.

Very cool. I’m not trailering the GTO there though, so the SUV will be home.

For Mav: the 2 groups will go out for 30 minute, alternating sessions.

Can the spot be shared (w/ eMKay)? (i.e I use up 2 sessions, co-driver 2 sessions) I haven’t done anything significant to the car and just doing some test & tune stuff so I have no desire to use up all my time/tires. Besides, from what I have seen in the past you have to twist people’s arm to get out and use up their time. It’s kinda sad when there are 3 cars on a track meant for 12.
BTW, eMKay and I are both qualified SCCA PDX instructors (HPDE, lapping day) and will be more than happy to sit shotgun for anyone wanting pointers.

If you are doing that, keep it to yourself. Bringing out the stopwatch puts people in the competitive mode and not the learning mode that most should be in. Knowing that I was being timed contributed to my off, using track pads for auto-x didn’t help either, but it was my equipment, my responsibility.
It’s cool if you want to run 10/10ths, just don’t do it with a full track of noobs and/or with a passenger.
I might take 2 or 3 laps at 10/10th’s at this event, maybe not. I was driving scared at the last auto-x the entire day and really just need my confidence back right now.
