Suggestion about I group passing rules

[mlmoore]

REVISED opinion

I realize I was wrong.

After the weekend at Barber I'm convinced this is not a rule problem but a people problem. My experience is limited and most of the incidents I had seen in the past were on hard braking turns and I thought people were just making bad judgments on when they were getting the pass done. That is evidently just a small percentage of the issue. At Barber I saw lots of inside passes that had nothing to do with braking(turns 2,3,4 and others) and were just cases of people not following the rules. The CR's and directors did a great job of dealing with a difficult situation.

The current rules work fine. It's just that some people don't think the rules apply to them. I wish I had a suggestion to fix that but I have none:banghead:

You would think they could at least memorize DJ's number and ID the undercover cop, but nope.
Perhaps more instruction is needed on how to do outside passes.
They are not as easy, obvious, or intuitive as stuffing it up the inside to the apex because there is a big fear of running out of track, and fear of being in close proximity to the other bike while in a very vulnerable position.

Yeah, normally plain clothes in a squad car isn't a good cover.

But, rule breakers always surprise you :doh:

6 Citations (sit outs) and 1 license revoked (sent home)


Next time - I'm going to their pits, kick down the canopy, yell "Sheriff's Department" and throw a "Flash Bang" . Escort them to the gate.

GJ DJ for the thinning of the herd Sunday. I had PLENTY of open track throughout the day. And the only incident I had was a guy passing me on the outside of the front straight on the curbing before turn 1 when he bumped my elbow. Not complaining but rock on.
