    sorry if i offened anyone here, but i've had nothing but problems from a small minority of those group 7 drivers.

    i've already talked w/ a couple people about split starts.


    for old times sake.
    Looks like YOU hit someone in that pic Glenn. ops: You have to keep in mind that not ALL race groups are going to be as skilled as this AI/CMC group and know when to back off or give room, or TAKE room. I bet you would never stop cussing if you ran in those run groups that our boys did at RA... The world may be round but it ain't perfect!
    Ah, fugg it.

    i did hit someone. i nailed his ass too (about 40-60 mph). problem is when you cross the track 90 degrees to traffic 2 times from a 4 wheels off moment on each side at the exit of Big Bend, you tend to get ALL the fault. he had 2 chances to "drive it off" in a MOCK RACE and decided to be the hero. his hero moment took out 3 cars. one was permanent and one was for a couple of events and mine was overnight. i got lucky. Rob also got lucky, just not as lucky as me. had i not hit him, he would have had a 3rd 4 wheels off.
    turns out that was a very big F-up on NASA's part for even letting him out there. cage not legal, driver not ready experiance wise.

    so remind me to not put you on an IRB if you assign fault based on one pic of one car.

    Heh, a couple of my GTS guys are nervous about running with group 3. As if you guys played bumper cars out there... I set them straight.

    The Valkyrie driver I think you're referring to is on his own now, and should never have been given a license in my opinion. He can't stay on track for more than 10 minutes at a time, but he hasn't done anything I can pull his ticket for in the brief time I've been GTS Director. The current Valkyrie guys I have no problems with, though they have one rookie I don't know well yet. Seems like a nice guy, though. The rest of GTS is good.

    I've seen Moorehead (is he in ST?) go off track a fair bit, but he hasn't been around recently.

    Other than that, the group is pretty good. I'll be sure to remind my GTS guys to stay out of your class battles, and I'm sure you all will return the favor. I don't have direct control over the smaller series that run with us, but I'll try to spread the word there as well.

    I take it the $475 for Enduro only is a per team cost and not $475 / person.

    Martin, this working together within the groups is awesome! Thanks!

    Now if we start saying that drivers going off the track need to be "marked" as questionable drivers, then Ginsburg would be run out of town on a rail! j/k... Just becuase a driver goes off doesn't mean they are driving above their abilities...if they do it OFTEN, then I would be worried and would speak with Clifton or the licensing director?

    And for the record, the only issue I have ever had with Group 7 was with Pete in the Lotus 7... He wanted to race with the leading AI cars in the last couple laps and you just couldn't see his darn car. I think he got my point of "I'm bigger than you!" towards the end.

    Beyond that, the split start works great!
    Ah, fugg it.

    I've run quite a bit with the cake eaters.
    I learned early if you get REAL close to them at the 1st opportunity, they will give way.
    Payback to their ass from all the trains they caused from their DE days :lol:
