Just super poorly run event. I sat on grid for an hour + in my driving suit in 100+ temps. I ran a total of 7 laps between 7am and 130pm... etc... not my favorite event needless to say.

 

That's weird. I ran my car at Buttonwillow and had over 2 hours of track time. Were they cleaning up the track from an incident or something? I had a blast!

 

Nice shill posting

I wanted to address some of the issues being brought up about last year..

Yes, our Spring Mountain event (I assume that is the one you are speaking of), had numerous track delays. The longest delay had to do with a competitor losing his oil pan plug, and continuing on-line, for well over 1/2 mile. Needless to say, it took well over 45 minutes to clean up the massive amount of oil. We also had a number of drivers go off course and get stuck in the sand/rocks/dirt, forcing the corner workers to throw the Full Course Black Flag, in order to safely extract the vehicle from the gravel. During the event, we went car to car, down pit lane, explaining to all of the drivers what was going on.

These sorts of on-track "accidents", that force the closure of the track, can hardly be attributed to our management of the event. Anyone who has hosted an open-track day or HPDE, or much less competitive TT or racing events, know exactly how much of a PITA track closures can be. When faced with these situations, a number of factors must be taken into account. How much time is left in the day? How many run sessions are left? what run session did this occur in? How close are we to a scheduled track shut-down (lunch)? Etc., etc.. These all must be considered, before making a decision on when to open the track, what group to send back out on track, to shorten the remaining run groups, etc., etc.

Now, with regard to the management of the events. All I can say is that the management of the events this year, compared to last year, is night and day different! We have increased the number of staff members at all of our events. We have trained our staff members better than we ever have before. Redline is now a professionally managed and full-time operated business, not a part-time gig run by two guys and their friends on the weekends (as it used to be). I Co-Founded Redline back in 2002 and again, all I can say is that the difference is night and day in our ability to provide an extremely high quality track experience.

 

when I ran Friday's test session at LVMS, it was far more organized than SMMP's event in 2009. Good to see the HUGE improvement.
