Der Gasser- Letter to Editor

[emayer]

Perhaps I didn't state things clearly enough, but I'm not trying to downplay the importance of tech and the fact that this takes extensive experience to become comfortable with.  I do not think the use of dedicated and certified techs can be replaced.

What I am trying to indicate is that basic mechanical issues can be taught in a DE environment which would only make the event safer, alleviate participant cost, and reduce the number of issues the inspectors come across.  Not a bad idea to have this taught trackside.  One could argue this is an important part of Driver Education just as learning the appropriate line, track awareness, flags etc.
