I'm working on a 5min highlight reel from #34...should be ready by the weekend because I'm lazy AF. Will post here when done. Great weekend all, that track is a treat to race on despite the cost.
Is there a track limits rule for Nationals? Or generally...
We didn't get many as many laps on Saturday because we got hosed by not having a grid until 5 minutes before race time.
Sunday we got hosed because of full course cautions for both races.
I have zero desire to run the short course. If anything letting us go through the short course for outlaps and cool-down laps would be a better option. I'm not sure how viable that is though.
So I experimented some more with live-streaming at COTA. Links are on my Facebook.
I'm really sorry on the grid issue. That is on me and Clifton... We learned a hard lesson, unfortunately at everyone else's expense.. My apologies.
Regarding the short course out lap, I suggested that last year and the track config wouldn't allow it due to the movement needed for the required barriers.
I suppose that I could put it on Clifton, but I’ve done grid for our group for so long that I feel it’s just “part of the job” for me to do. However, with the HUGE field at COTA, I didn’t want to have to figure it out by hand since we had so many “extra” groups above and beyond the PT guys.
Not trying to dump on you or Clifton, but setting qualifying for Saturday by registration time for the whole field, independent of class wasn't great.
What we did at MSRC worked way better. Can we do that at Hallett? I'm liking the organized grid for quals, makes it so much easier to bang out a good qual time and not worry about hitting slower traffic or worrying about holding up a faster class car behind you.

Pranav's video does a better job of depicting the challenges the track presents the driver.
