Quote:If you were running the program, what would you suggest?The first thing is to try to secure a better lot, which seems to be the concensus. I believe it all flows from there. I think looking at a sea of cones can intimidate folks, and no one wants to look foolish (OK, maybe that doesn't apply to Nick B )
You wouldn't believe how many drivers had never tried threshold braking in their cars... so many students were freaked out by the feeling of the ABS coming on, they had never felt the pulse of it in the pedal--some of them jumped off the brakes. Not good for an emergency situation in real life. Many people are intimidated by their cars, and since most have significant investments there, they can be doubly afraid of handling their cars at the limit. This is the perfect arena to safely push. It's also going to enhance their skills on the big track if they are into DE...
Quote:Do you know of any appropriate locations that we might be able to afford that might bring out the membership?Warminster and the lot at the mall are the 2 best places I know of. Boeing? Very bumpy and smaller than what we have at Valley Forge. The SCCA still runs there in conjunction with the Boeing Car Club mainly because it was the only local venue for a while.
Quote:Allright!!
The facility is the Unysis complex adjacent to Township line Rd....Sorry, no contact name, but I'm sure that security will tell us who thet person is and when is the best time to reach him/her.
Unisys? I trust that Nick has checked it out, though doesn't Mike Andrews (track chair) work there? Maybe someone can hit him up for info?
Quote:BTW, you can't judge the interest of AX among the membership by the number of posts in this area unless you simply look at the number of members posting, not the total number of posts.I agree, we are just a few people here, so it's not really a representation of interest, but I hope that all this good intention doesn't go to waste. Is the tall guy listening?
