Quote:Perhaps this is just the result of putting a lot of cars together that have not driven together before but I think some people put themselves in black that did not have the experience it takes to run in that fast a group.Good points. At the Zone stuff (1 or 2), there are many folks that you are not used to driving with on the track. The other situation @ VIR was that any Red driver from their own region that was not instructing was put into the black group. Add this to some of the black drivers being really slow and you got a real mix of speeds. It was not an ideal black group.
I am not trying to justify the situations that occured at VIR. I would never be comfortable running in a passing signals optional group. Just let it be that these guys would not be running in black if they where RTR participants so I don't think these situations would be common at our events.
All the more reason to control yourself and your car and wait for a pass signal. Yes it can be very frustrating as Steve mentioned but a quick chat with the lady/gent should rectify the problem for the next run. If you just bitch about it to your friends and take no action, then get prepared to get "stuck" n every session for the rest of the w/e.
