For those who have instructed or given rides ...

Pretty sure that I had someone at Hallet so no passengers in TT. Then we looked it up and you can have passengers just no points for that session.

Something alonf those lines anyway.

Oh and I had a TTer ask me if I wanted a ride. Didnt have time so I didnt take him up on that one.

Like I said, many believe passengers aren't allowed in HPDE or TT and don't actually want to look up the relevant sections of the rule books...

CCR section 4.6 and TT rules section 8 (15.4 for Nationals).

Ricardo Patrese did the same thing with his wife a few years ago. She was as thrilled about it as Joao's wife.

CCR 4.6 covers HPDE1-4, sure. If you flip through the TT rules you'll find several mentions of passengers but the most important one is that it's at the discretion of regional leadership as to which sessions may have passengers (if any) - "Note: Passengers are permitted in some regional event competition sessions.". As long as DE4 is dumped on top of TT we'll be allowing passengers in TT as well - any session that has DE4 running with us is kosher. Mainly because the only distinction between DE4 and TT when running in the same session is if the car as a transponder running or not... but that's a rant best aimed elsewhere.

Once they're separated out in their own group or put with DE3 or whatever, or if its a weekend like Hallett where there is no HPDE offered, and it becomes a pure competition session I'll let you guess which session will have passengers permitted.

Now if you will let me ride along in Mosty's CMC car during one of the inverts then yeehaw lets let anybody who is brave enough ride with whomever they want in whatever session they wish!

You might have a different opinion on that had you been in the car for race 2...

I wonder if anyone would run away laughing/crying after a CMC invert ride along..? I could see someone melting out of the car and kissing the ground after the race.


BTW, I LOVE giving ride alongs. Petty bar ruins the creamsicles ride along capabilities though. Doesn't stop me from taking students out in their cars (R8, 997 911 turbo, C4S, etc) or stealing other instructors cars! Played in a Cayman last weekend.

I saw this last year at the local dirt track where they had a class that allowed passengers during a race. I thought that was pretty crazy....but I bet a ride in a CMC car during an invert would be really crazy.

I have carried passengers in my street car at MSRC before with similiar reactions as Jauo's wife going through ricoshet.

I vote for a Charity race which all racers have to have a passenger...I think it would be a blast!! (but it should be after April so I can ride)
