Re: Event #5 Results
Adam, from what we hear, our series is considered too "hard core" for beginers. Therefore we have made lots of changes to the series including increasing lapping time and making instructors available for all newbies at all times during lapping.
Some guys really don't have a competitive bone in their bodies and like just driving around lapping all day while others complain if they can't win first time out, they won't come back.....( a bit TOO competitive maybe?)
In years gone by Solo 1 or SoloSprint were the only shows in town. Now there is more competition for the dabblers i.e ATTS, CSCS or Sigma. You are correct that the total number of persons entering time-attack is fewer than in the past but what has been dropped are usually the people who only run 1 or 2 events. None of these other series offer the instruction or competition that the Mobil 1 Time-Attack series does but it takes time to change people's minds and make the positive changes to the series public knowledge. You might like to come out and have a look-see.
Having been at this for more years than I would like to admit, I can safely say that the series is better than it has ever been. Sorry you don't want to play, you usually did quite well as I remember. Not a lot of sledding in the summer.
