This was our first event for PCFLV and despite the tons of smiles I saw in the parking lots/paddock areas things certainly didn't go as smooth as we hoped. So let's do a lesson learned while it's fresh in our heads in order to start preparing for next year.
I think the venue is great, with nice facilities (thanks to the Iron Pigs) and we should leave well enough alone in that area.
Maybe break up into 3 or 4 run groups instead of two - wait time diminishes, more smiles per run, per day
Gold ticket holders run in any group until their 6 runs are expired. Maybe even give them each 6 gold tickets to hand to the starter - that way if they have tickets they can run until they are out....save the timers having to check how many runs they have done.
Timing - do we want to try to get more gear for the timing or get the scca timing truck (that does come with a ton of goodies like the big timing display and everything is computerized).
We shouldn't have the finish line dump you right into the paddock area. Also don't have high speed approaches and hard brake zones right in front of the paddock.
I particularly loved the endurance course but do we want to shorten it (I heard a few complaints like slow and tight but obviously they had a few lug nuts loose).
There were a ton of newbies there - More instructors are needed and I heard from the gang that next year a bunch of our ax'ers want to just help out during the day and get a few fun runs in at the end of the day (awesome idea).
Maybe even do two courses since we have the space - one for official timing, the other for fun runs and newbies (untimed).
We should sell/give out bottled water.
Place Show and Shine and Cars and Coffee on that strip of road where they eventually ended up....you can pack a ton of cars in there.
Maybe have Coca-cola park sell food as well - not just for the drivers.
If more vendors come - where would we place them. Fabspeed and Meguiars usually bring big rigs.
Dial up the same weather as this year
Just a beautiful Day
