The Funny thing about the four fun's running the opposite direction in my opinion is that everyone was moaning about a couple of tires being placed in corner 3 where the cars enter the track, and how unsafe that it was running clockwise, and that those tires would not do anything in the event of an accident. Well if my memory serves me correctly, then Barrie has the same thing on the entrance of their infield pitlane. How come that the Barrie drivers don't complain about the safety hazard there?

If you drive at Barrie you are VERY well aware of where that tractor tire is... and I would rather have that there than a squared off wall end.
Mark Dilley climbed it backwards in an NCATS race last year. Car wasn't wrecked bad and it was pulled off with the hook. I'm sure he prefers that was there...

Don't get me wrong, I fully agree that it should be there, I was just wondering what the difference was. The drivers side is to the wall in both cases, and I am sure that a NCATS car would climb it going backwards. but if a car would hit it going forwards, it probably wouldn't climb the wall, the impact would probably be fully realised. Just a thought...

The other big thing is the "ends" of the new poured wall face.  If you clock the wall and stay against it still moving, in reverse you'll hit that blunt edge and come to a stop in an awful hurry. 

But, as Evan has rightfully reminded us, we are waaay of topic. 🙂

just a suggestion and i really wish barrie had this as well, if you can't get a web site operating then lets go back to selling programs. programs were awesome, you had a souvenier, a place for drivers to sign their autographs, photos you could take home and sponsor ads. i may be the only one but i miss them.

+1 you're not Jim, I miss those too.

So we have had I think 3 of the last 4 weeks rained out. Lots of time to update your "new and improved" web site. and what has changed over the last 4 weeks.  No results posted, Points not updated on the site since May 31, 2008, Rules have changed and not updated (I like the fact that Glens name is still on the bottom of the rules with his home phone number), No classifieds. Lots of talk on "give the new guy a chance, the web site is going to be great".

I think it is time to find someone new to take over the duties of the web site.

If someone wants to provide us with race results and points work I bet we could do something here.
