Having been involved in LSR since 1953 it seems to me everyone is trying to jump the gun on how the new venue in Ohio is to be run. Joe & Keith as well as the other volunteers have a lot on their plate to make it all happen in a orderly manner. At El Mirage we (SCTA) have operating procedures for the event on the dry lake.
It is available on line for all to read. This procedure is updated each year as necessary.
I would think that each of you send your suggestions to the ECTA web site. As it is a new venue in another state with the facility and the city requirements along with everything that requires permits, safety equipment crowd control, signs for staging, pit area return roads, speeds on the same etc. The list is long and subject to many changes for the first event to happen.
The general lay out of the facility I have not seen but I am sure each entrant will get one when arriving and be directed to the pit area along with any other instructions for the event. I hope the Joe and Keith print out a Q & A and suggestion sheet as a guide line for them and the racers to work together with ECTA and the state / local city to make this a great and welcome event for all.
OOPS, sorry I placed this in the LTA venue. Should go in the ECTA/Wilmington Ohio section, maybe Jon can move it.
Some years back getting a spot near the front of the line for a fresh course to run on there were racers bringing their cars and putting them in line 3 or 4 days before the event. At that time it was decided to be fair to everyone to re do the point system and the next events points would get your place in line. That system is still used today. There was no security at the lakes and you took a chance of leaving a vehicle sit for 2 or 3 days.
