how is your s configured?

I might be willing to trade rides in my street S for some trackdays' back east

 

What about Time Attack, its a time trail type setup. And guess what, there was only one S2000 at the first one out here.

The next one is at Summit on Aug. 5-6th... Lets see how many S2ks show up there... My guess is no more than 10. Theres not enough people out here with the car who track.

They told me at Redline that they see 30-40 S2ks out west during there events... We had a track only event last year with only S2000 and only 30? people with the car had even been to a track before

theres just not the volume out here....

 

One concern is that in other parts of the country, there seems to be a dire fear of timing. I know in TX, most car enthusiasts are afraid to even share the track w/ someone who's timing. It's much more difficult outside of CA to find a group offering timing like SV does.

 

I think they were just afraid to share the track w/ -you-.



The stupid reactions to timing of course needs to be fixed.

 

Timing is competitive, no insurance

 

Actually, competition is competitive. Timing does not necessarily imply competition.

But in this case, this TT stuff is competition, and could well affect insurance. Maybe even the insurance of other participants.

 

and have been through this. If timing is involved AND/OR places are awarded, Allstate(in VA) will not be liable for any claim. That was almost 2 years ago, and I know they've gotten stricter since that time(I believe it has now been changed to something like "covers only accidents on public use roadways"). This is one of the reasons why I don't believe the casual owner will be attracted to this.

 

Known by the State Insurance Board as the "Skip Merriman clause"

 

In Texas, there used to be a dire fear of payneinthe, but then they realized you won't be able to outdrive flying bullets

That makes no sense to me, with unequal cars, time trialing is more racing yourself against yourself than a competitor.

 

At DEs I've attended here, there are always plenty of Hotlap emitter type devices on the side of the track - it's just that the DE organizers don't want the folks who are still learning to be concerned with laptimes and end up overdriving their cars.
