That is exactly the case...NHMS puts the cones out before we get there. I would not call the placement arbitrary. That said, we move/remove them as necessary. Tommy & his crew at NHMS have always been great about giving us the freedom to move things around a bit. The entrance to the track @ pitout is gated and padlocked, usually until around the time of the driver meeting.TroyV wrote:Will,
I was under the assumption that the cones were just abitrarily put there by NHMS. If we are putting them out there and have control over their position, then I would ask that we use half as many, and move them back so as to not suggest a line.
Thanks for considering it.........I will stop whining about it now.
T1 & T2 have each changed a few times over the past few years. The area has become a bit more wide-open, with less grass, more pavement, and an additional tire wall. The removal of the grass effectively changed the configuration of all 3 corners (T1, T2a, T2b), As such, the cones are now required to define the racing surface.
IF anyone has any objection as to how the cones are placed during the event, please bring it to our attention at the event. Tell Sam (or chief of ops) or me (chief instructor). Both of us are usually quite busy during the day and often do not get out on track as often as we'd like, which means that we won't know about issues on-track unless someone tells us!
