1. Late to grid (score: 1): Author: "Alan Pozner" <apozner@ptd.net>; Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 11:59:40 -0400; The late to grid rule is inherently unenforceable. How in the world can I arrive 30 minutes before something that has no set time? Only heat 1 drivers can know when their heat starts so only heat one; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00143.html (8,437 bytes)

It should be a 5 minute rule. It is not fair to the first driver or a one driver car to have cold tires on his first run if the second driver; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00175.html (8,767 bytes)

Everybody checks in and gets a "grid time", then leaves the grid and out the front gate. We now have what, fourty something Z06's blasting aroun; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00180.html (8,702 bytes)

RE: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: "Eric Salem" <eric@mail.brown911.com>; Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 21:46:11 -0500; Without a PA system that can be heard in the paddock the entire concept is beyond stupid. What? Is a Miracle supposed to occur and let us know when it's almost 30 minutes? This is just dumb. No maybe; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00181.html (8,019 bytes)
5. Re: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: Dick Rasmussen <rasmussend@mindspring.com>; Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 22:45:27 -0400; Sean, Nice try. As a "single driver car" with slicks I would love to have warm tires.

Check 89.1 on your FM dial if you can't hear. I don't expect people; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00196.html (8,734 bytes)

Re: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: "Mike Lowe" <mikelowe93@houston.rr.com>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 13:39:27 -0500; If we're going to have a 30-minute rule for grid, then we need to go back to having impound outside grid. On both days, the DSP folks were occupying EM and SM2 grid spots well after they ran. I got m; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00199.html (8,377 bytes)

RE: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: "eric salem" <eric@mail.brown911.com>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 14:22:20 -0500; So I should walk from the far south end of the padock to the north course grid to see the status of the heat preceding mine? Or should we all drive back and forth? Or does this mean we are all now r; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00201.html (8,626 bytes)
9. RE: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: Mark Sirota <mark@sirota.org>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 15:29:57 -0400; If you had no access to a radio, you'd only have to travel as far as Information. But I don't understand the resistance here -- regardless of the exact timing of when you need to be in grid, you need; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00202.html (9,046 bytes)

12. RE: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: Mark Sirota <mark@sirota.org>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 16:09:31 -0400; Alan, what would be better? If we said "before the third runs of the previous heat", we have the same problem. How do you know when the third runs will start?

13. RE: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: Kevin Stevens <Kevin_Stevens@pursued-with.net>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 13:37:09 -0700 (PDT); Agreed. If you look back in the thread, my suggestion for change was to make the deadline X minutes after a call to grid, which could be broadcast, published at the timing board, or both.

It wasn't there. Doing a little dial surfing I found the north course on 87.7, but an hour later it was not there e; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00212.html (9,708 bytes)

IMHO, it is a rule there more for the convenience of the officials to the detriment of the competitors. (I did not; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00213.html (11,829 bytes)

Re: Late to grid (score: 1): Author: "Rocky Entriken" <rocky@tri.net>; Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 16:31:27 -0500; The resistance is that this is a busywork rule that imposes something basically unnecessary on drivers for nebulous purposes.

Just do it with our current PA's and radio broadcasts. No need for skywriters or whatever. Mark /// unsubscribe/change addr; /html/autox/2002-09/msg00223.html (7,863 bytes)
