Here's my group B run in the STR Miata. 50.4 https://youtu.be/GamKptPPKM4?si=LTmf9O4QtQ4N0nu5

Thanks to the PASR for putting on another great event. TO Run - CSP 49.724 https://youtu.be/UzfQUxZKOgA

For a while registration assigned "Corner Captains" who were more experienced racers and were in charge of the radio and cone calls for each station per run Group as a way to clean up the radio chatter and more accurately report cone calls. I personally liked the idea but there was pushback so eventually we stopped that practice. Maybe time to rethink that? We've also extensively discussed going to large #s on cars in the past and once the details of what all would have to be changed with our systems to accomplish this, the decision was made by the steering committee to not go that direction. One may think it is simple fix for one issue, but in reality it changes just about everything we do with our registration and timing & scoring systems and then on top of that requires everyone to now put tape or magnetic #s on their cars every event...correctly. In my opinion, the current system works very well for us. We just need to be better and course work, clean up the radio chatter and remind people to stay away from timing and scoring area.

I also noticed down cones on a couple of my runs that I had to work around. Still had a great time and don't want to "complain" but with all being said it might need to be addressed as course should always be the same for all runs.

I Observed that same Group, and a few things made it difficult to score correctly. I think numbers too problematic to facilitate (as well as the distances involved), but workers not following worker protocols made scoring tough. When working, and a car hits a cone, you run out, hold the cone over your head briefly, and then replace it (VERY important). That quite often was not happening. They would run over to the spot, shuffle stuff around, and then return to their station. Sometimes there was not even a cone call on the radio. If the cone was moved, but still in the box, replace it correctly, and do the arm wave “all clear” signal. Again, was not happening. But ESPECIALLY, a very social group gathered right behind us at the timing tent seeking shade, and you guys got loud. Hard to hear for Glenda on the radio, or us hear Glenda. There must be no one hanging out by timing. Period. Many of us care a lot about accurate scoring, and we do our best to provide that, but these two issues made that very hard, as Mark shared. Please? Thanks.😎
