Hi,

I am posting this just to get a bt better idea where majority of those who reads this forum but does not post much sits regarding to PCA run groups...
I`ll add more later if results will be what I think they will be.

Regards, Paul.

 

I only drive in the Flat Out run group...and win every DE.

Red - Instructing has been a lot of fun and rewarding so far. Selfishly, IMO there is plenty to be learned from the right seat and it makes for a slightly less expensive track day.

 

Not all PCA groups use colors.

Are you looking for the skill levels of those here or is PCA related?

I seem to think there is a reason behind this poll.

BTW...
I have not run a PCA DE in years. Nothing against the PCA in Az, just an issues of limited track days for me and where best to spend my time. Plus no option for racers? Or is that by design?

 

let`s see how poll will end up in several days time.

 

Well I did not vote because none of the options work for me.

 

Werd...I am feeling it.

 

i would assume last option if as you say you still do track events on a regular basis, but elsewhere. an exact verbage is just a play of words, it does not change the outcome much.

 

Yes, but you have biased your poll only to those who do DE's. There are many here who race but seldom if ever do a DE. But likely did DE's at one point.

 

Locally, the order is beginner (Green), novice (Blue), solo novice (Blue Solo), Intermediate (Yellow), Advanced (White) and instructor (Red). I suggest you revise the poll to add "skill" categories, so you get "apples to apples" answers....

 

it is by design as any racer/pro/etc gets assigned into run group, if one chooses to participate in the system. so poll should also show how many people in fact do, well, participate in those sorting procedures. if any racer does not feel to vote for last DE group he had before he stopped doing DEs and does not think this system fits him anymore - there is option 7, i guess. Right?
But everyone belongs somewhere in this system as this is how system works, and it is not the topic here to discuss the system itself, so, I see no flaws in that logic. It is just a vote.

for particulars of groups order - is is sorted from green to black, with instructors in red - most regions have similar 6 step ladder. so exact names do not matter.

 

Grocery getters local 7-11.

 

Lavender...

sorry, but my limited experience indicates no continuity whatsoever between regions, differing colors (gee, I thought I was khaki last week) and no communication btw. regions.

Yew'd be (if you're that curious or competetive here) probably better off asking lap times...but should expec the same flippant answers. i.e., Hallett 1.79hrs, and two beers to walk.

 

I believe 6 steps system was supposed to be enforced in any PCA related club.

If so many people cannot even figure out how do they fit into this wonderful bureaucracy PCA created it also probably speaks volumes by itself. It was not even my intention to go into this particular aspect of an issue so it is funny how it surfaced itself up almost right away.
