Kinda 2 wide in T8 requires raisons, better than 2 wide in T2 which requires grapefruits.

Hey Dwane, you got some juice with the powers that be....how bout getting them to let us pass at the bottom of the downhill, T3? (Black Run Group)......raisins, grapefruits, coconuts, strap-ons, truck nutz, bring em all! Its a blast and the RED run group gets to do it! Some Black Run Group drivers are just as good, just don't instruct.....What say ye?

All of the drivers that we played with in May are capable enough to do this safely.......

My thoughts are...Better to be safe and save it for our special days in May and September.

I'm in for point bys at every authorized opportunity. Our mission is to ensure every flagger has sore arms by days end.

Thanks, Stan!
And to think there is more to be saved. I still coast much too much - but I like smooth, fast, and safe a lot.

Wait a second...... It's safe in Red but not in Black! Can always waive off the pass if you aren't comfortable taking it. Until I was grey flagged, (ask Micheal, no tires ever left the "racing" surface)..... Yves and I had it going on real well. Think about it. Point by and stay a little left coming down the hill..... Plenty of room to pass inside heading into the esses.

Kinda depends on the track and quality of the floggers.

I got black flagged twice at Calabogie last week - they see EVERYTHING. Including some things that actually happened.



Challenge is to get everyone, including flaggers, to do their thing consistently.

While some of the black run group are as good as those in Red and even thought I am fortunate to get 32 track days per season, I am also aware that I have NO where near the experience and abilities of the Red run group. As church lady says those in Red are "Speeciaal".

Blue drivers need more watching then black.

You did have a lot of issues with your car....I'll take you out in mine for sure.
