I have watched this hijacked thread unfold over the last couple of days. Like everything else you read on the net there is some fact, there is some fiction and there is a little bit of attitude. The bottom line is that we all enjoy Drivers' Ed. Every event organizer approaches things a little differently but I suspect we all have the same goal . . SAFE, SERIOUS, FUN. Pick an event you enjoy and sign up.
I registered over 2000 drivers last season and I only had about a dozen complaints with regard to working . . . and those complaints were from a handful of people. Nevertheless, this thread has certainly given us something to discuss at our Track Operations Meeting on Sunday.
Hope to see you at the track!

Sometimes (OK, more than sometimes) a thread that has fulfilled it original intent heads off in a side track. The original intent was not diluted or subverted it just acted as a seed for another conversation. This is different, I think than a total hijack which kills or interferes with the original intent of the thread. This follows normal human communication patterns. If this topic started on post #2 this would have been a rip-off but 4 pages into a “date and time info” type post it is just conversation. (this post is, on the other hand, a hijack of the hijack)

This thread wasn't hijacked, it's just gotten a little off track....
...kinda like if you take T1 @ Summit point too hot and go off track, you'll be sitting up to your axles in that stone field. <-- my attempt to stay on topic! ! !

I have a distinct recollection of a Summit Point event, not sure who organized it but everytime we needed the tow truck, Mr. P ran to the driver's seat. If I come to this event, can I operate the tow truck?

Yeah, that pea gravel at turns 1 & 10 is a bitch. Both of my sons wound up in the turn 10 trap last year (one due to ball joint failure & the other to boiled brake fluid) and we are still finding stones in the garage and in the beads on all their wheels!
