Hawaii Island SCCA Solo Event #12.....12/22/2013 requirements on Dec 22, 2013 (353750) | MotorsportReg.com

Aloha!

Sunday, Dec 22nd, is the last race of this season! Come on out and race and you will be smiling for Christmas. We are continuing to keep to our changes that we established a few months ago, which means 8 runs for you, so please try to get there on time, Registration will close at 09 AM                                                      Congratulations to Brandon Wilk 2013 Driver of the Year..... it is still a tight race to see who will take the next top places!! 

  

Considering these changes to the way we run our autocross:

Start earlier!

Registration closes at 09:00 am

Course set up by 8:30 am

Tech closes at  9:00 am

Driver meeting at 9:15 am

Course walk at 9:30 am

First car out at 10:00 am

Design shorter tracks that fast drivers can complete in 40-45 seconds

Run two full sessions.  All drivers in the morning and again in the afternoon for a total of 8 runs each.  Change direction of the course for the afternoon session.

Drivers running in heat 3 and 4 work heats 1 and 2 with no change of position.  Tie work location to order eg. If driver is running 1st in heat one they will work corner 1 in heat 3 and 4 etc.  This amounts to two heats working, one heat driving and one heat off.  Take a 5 or ten minute break between heats 2 and 3 for worker change.  Also suggest that we have a separate staging area for cars running in the upcoming heat.  Drivers should be at or near their cars ready to go.

Add an additional course worker along the fence on the back straight bringing the total to 6 workers plus timing.  This will save time and avoid the worker having to run from the infield every time a cone goes down out back.

 

How it looks on paper….

10:00 first car out, 45 seconds plus righting cones per car.  If we round up to 2 minutes per car, heat one is over at 10:30.

If we have properly staged, heat two begins immediately afterward but let’s say it takes 10 minutes…

10:40 first car of heat 2 on the track.  Heat 2 completes at 11:10.

10 minute break to change out workers and get heat 3 drivers to their cars and on the grid.  Also have heat 4 starting to stage.

11:20 Heat 3 first car out.

11:50 Heat 4 first car out.

12:20 lunch and pointer cone changes, timing light move to reverse the track.

1:00 start it all over again and be done by 3:30
