PBOC Sept 8+9 at Sebring following my track day the 6th and Chin the 7th, now allow windows up in the rain.
Passing signal OK with turn signals, just as they do for night events..
Baby steps but it’s progress.
I don’t see the safety difference between wet and dry.
When they take the next step, I won’t have to rent Sebring anymore but we’re sold out and it will be fun!

So Chin gives you the choice now.
Its working beautifully as did our own event.
Im sure PBOC and others will follow I’m sure if they want to fill up track events here in Florida anyway.

So just as I’m seeking options for taking weight out of Boxzilla to get closer to the F class podium, (I do mostly DE’s and some racing) I can now re-install the a/c and windows adding weight? As they say, a cooler driver is a faster driver.

I personally am neither for or against using blinkers to point people for passing. I am happy to do whatever the track organizer requires, but here is a video I just came across where it seemed to work well. It is near the end of the video.

So what the heck happened.....?....drove with Chin today ...Sunday...at Sebring and was told to put windows down. I asked a few chief track instructors about running windows up like before and they looked at me like I was crazy.

^^ Looks like they played along but changed their mind or got lazy and defaulted into stupid old and dangerous rules.
I thought we were all set but looks like we have to revive our own track days.
I had no idea you were there!!
Left right after 2nd session.
How you like the car :-)

Kibort, you make little sense and are grasping at straws. Blinkers are much clearer and much less ambiguous than a hand signal which could come in a variety of styles, levels of clarity, on the side of the car, over the roof, or inside the car (for cars with fixed windows or nets). Sometimes drivers wave to drivers ahead of them or to flag stations which could also be mistaken for a pass signal. Other times drivers adjust their mirror which could also be mistaken for a passing signal (from inside the car).
The "argument" that blinkers could get confusing is ridiculous. After being instituted for a few months, and after using them at a few events they will become a habit for everyone just like your decades of point-bys have become a reflex for you now. Is this an old dogs, new tricks kind of a problem?
I have no idea what kind of logic you use to arrive at your conclusions. Or you're just arguing for argument's sake...

One uses blinkers for point by just as you do on the street, there's no contradiction. On the street you blink to show where you are going and on the track one uses the blinker to show where you are going, passing cars go by on the OTHER side. This is how it's down in Europe and it's very natural when you get used to it.
