Terminology Question
«
on:
November 16, 2009, 09:21:16 AM »
I was reviewing the results of the November El Mirage meet and saw this comment at the top of the page;
"
There were 5 spins, 14
turn outs
and 2
turn ins
, and 2 guests.
"
What is the difference between a turn-out and a turn-in ?

A turn out is made to the left if you believe no parts have been dropped on the course, a turn out to the inside or to the right if you think you may have dropped parts, chain, rods, pistons etc..or if you have a fire or emergency as well.

White Monster, you've discovered the reason that everyone MUST attend the drivers meeting before racing. Each venue has rules about safety including which direction to turn. It's at Bonnevile where the "in" and "out" started -- because there, with multipletracks (long and short) -- if you've got a problem you turn IN -- towards the timing tower. And if all's okay you turn OUT -- away from the timing tower.
It's often shorthandedly referred to as "in" and "out" even if it truly isn't that way but rather left or right. Which way to turn is always mentioned at the meeting, no matter which venue.
See?
