What about getting the event started earlier.... as in really early. Like on track by 8:00 am. I would have no problem going to bed 2 hours earlier, and getting up earlier as well if it meant that I would be on track sooner, for longer time, and in cooler weather.

All you young bucks just need to not go out and get drunk til 5 am the night before LOL.

 

Okay cool

 

I agree with Jay and some others on the starting times. We need to either start earlier or finish later if we plan to have more than 40 cars on the track (oreven less cars to give more time). I know this might be difficult for some of the staff to get up early, but possibly more of the track could be set up the night before? or if more manpower is needed I could assist if you needed me to?

 

Thanks for the event Kyle and everybody at DG. Had a great time. Didnt break anything and learned a little bit. Wish i couldve performed better, but it was my first event so i wasnt exactly sure of what to expect of myself. Just need more practice for a better feel of my car i guess.

Thanks again.

 

With regard to all the problems - We'll work it out.

The events won't be absolutely perfect next time, but slowly they'll get close.

Thanks again to everyone for coming out.

 

Thats where you are wrong. Insurance for the event covers not only track damage, but damage to YOU. If YOU get hurt, a driver or spectator. It protects myself and my staff from personal liability in case someone or their property gets hurt/damaged.

 

what are the waivers for then ?

 

that doesnt seem right... its mainly to protect spectators, and the property.

in a nascar event, when the driver crashes, its his responsibilty to fix the car, not the tracks. the waiver is basically saying, if you wreck your car, you cant sue the track.

 

They're no good against a good lawyer really....and completely useless against next of kin. If somebody at an event was killed, their family could sue DGTrials regardless of agreements betweent DGTrials and the deceased. This is where the insurance comes in I suppose. Kind of like the whole "24 hour library checkout of software", not much more than a false sense of security really. I guess there is some point, keep them from getting sued by poor people who can't afford a good lawyer maybe?

 

Although OGP is a really nice track, it gets its nuts rocked by Homestead.
OGP has more turns, but most of them were pretty slow....if that's the criterion, then your local publix has more turns. I think the highest speed I saw all day at OGP was maybe 45....Homestead was more like 70 - 80.
