    Maybe We Need Large Car Numbers?

    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.😎

    Holding the cone helps soooo much for the Spoters at timing incase the callout is missed, couldn't be determined, equipment/tech issues, etc.

    I was out at Station 3 during D-Group and nobody seemed to hear our callouts. I told the others with me to hold the cone over there head briefly if its out of the box, as its good practice and  since we could not radio in(but we could hear everyone just fine). Found out later that if I stood further down towards the timing, I was getting confirmation on our calls.

    Here’s my best run of the day, a 40.145. I was on the struggle bus all day with grip, and had two Brown Pants moments with spins going into the first left hand sweeper. I got the closest to hitting something hard at any time in my 18 years of autocross when I almost spun into the fence in TOs. 
     

     

    For real though, so many people have been having trouble with grip that day.
