tom7 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 At a number of events last year, the practise of 'bringing your car to the scrutineer' seemed very time consuming and chaotic IMO. ☹️ Events I have attended run by other clubs have a practise of the scrutineers going to the cars at a predetermined time. For example, Class 1 would be done between 9 & 9.20, class 2 9.20 & 9.40 etc.... This gives competitors plenty of time to prepare, warm-up, attend breifings, walk the track etc. without having to spend the best part of an hour standing in line pushing their car down the middle of the paddock getting in everybody elses way. Is this a frustration other competitors share, what are the chances of improvements for 2004 What do you think BB 🤔 Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I think it's down to the organising club. Places like Gurston, Wiscombe, Prescott - you are done in your 'parking spot'. Others like Castle Combe, Boscombe Down - you have to queue Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ranson Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 It also helps if you lay the paddock out in number order. That way the cars that are first to run tend to get scrutineered first. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Paul - it then helps if the competitors park next to their number rather than the space closest to the burger van 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Yes Dave, it's the way BARC events are scrutineered & saves a lot of time - it also gives competitors time to last minute ready their cars after journeys. Space allocation in the paddock might be a good idea as has been suggested. See u there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Plato Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Can anyone make me some little waterproof signs then with the number 1 - 100 printed on them ? I'll also need 200 zip ties to attach then to the fence surrounding the paddock . I can then display these in the paddock ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I can get u the zip ties (don't know what the wife's pants will be held up with afterwards though!!) -just let me know where to send them etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Thats the zip ties not the pants !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Dave - can't you just allocateareas for each class and then get people to park in the relevant area 🤔 like at MIRA then you would only need 6 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yes it was quite slick at mira & would save the planet as far as cable ties are concerned !! - hope the weather is as good at mira this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I wasnt intending doing any class segregation or competitor numbered spaces . At Llandow the scrutineers come to you all in good time .....nice and relaxed is how we like it .... You can also park next to your mates , even if they are in a different class . So all in all I'm not fixing something that isnt broken and making more work for myself 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
