They're pretty tight with that tape. Wonder if I could hire them to tape the trim around my house... and carpet, and furniture and pets and...
They're noobs, they'll get over it.

Although not "that" exuberant by a long shot, I used a fair bit of blue tape at my first DE. During the second session, I was black flagged because a little that I had placed behind the rear wheels (need to protect the paint from drift damage) had come loose and the workers thougt something was hanging down. The moment I realized that the damned tape could result in me losing a second of track time (remember, I had only been on the track for a total of about 45 minutes at that point), I jumped out of the car, ripped every bit of it off the car and left it in a wad near track out (I picked it up later), and never put another piece on the car again.
