    Somehow I feel each of you owes me a beer now... odd. I prefer a nice stout. A 92+ Bordeaux will do fine too.

    Give me a call....Greeley's after work one day? Just don't make me go to queens.

    Look, at least you'll have the chance to explain yourself. I forget if it was John Nesbitt or someone else came up to me after a Pro-IT race and said "the corner workers called such and such incident in, did car # XX spin you in turn one?" My response was "no, I actually did that all on my own with my own lack of talent"

    The fact that this will maybe allow for conversation between parties that "get together" is what I see as the main benefit. Have seen too many times when one guy pushes what's left of his car into his trailer and drives off.

    I can see getting the car into your trailer quickly because you don't want people staring at the piece of metal that used to be your car, but leaving without some form of conversation with the stewards or other drivers is a big mistake in my mind.

    This is a great step!

    wish we'd had this last year... It took an 8 (or more) car incident on a start at NJMP to finally get us action against a certain white Porsche!!


    can mechanical issues like always leaking oil be included in this please?! yup, the same car inspired this question. Sad really...

    Although it can sometimes appear to be picking on a specific driver I think the red book is a good idea. I know of times in the past when drivers asked the stewards to keep eye on a specific driver for poor driving. That does get relayed to the corners if the stewards feel there is a reason.
    Whenever the corner stations call in contact they are asked - "In you opinion what was the cause?" Obviously we can only base our answer on the part of the track we see. We won't know how the two drivers have been interacting in other places around the track that may have led up to the incident at our corner. So it is just our view. I know you drivers understand this is all we can provide. So many times we are not sure if there is contact and don't want to falsely accuse drivers of contact so we won't call in possible contact.
    Here's to a great 2013!
