"That Is How I Drive, Flat Out" Stickers
Gotta get one of these! <-Link->
If you're not in on the joke--and I'm sure most of you are--watch this. (The entire thing is a hoot, but the particular section is at about 2.30 in.) One is going on our friend's Prius. |

You're welcome! I can't wait to put this on our friend's Prius. just thinking about that one--especially since she pretty much has the vid memorized at this point.
There are so many great lines in that vid: Driving a real supercar is an art form. 200 MPH on the Autobahn in Caterham. In the rain. At night. I'm operating on an entirely different level (waves arm). It looked like you were leading a conga line. Actually I was in a stock Miata.... My student in a Ford Focus... And of course the tagline "That is How I Drive, Flat Out" which gets repeated a few times by DickySpeedMaster. Yeah, I may have seen it a few times. 007M Coupe--not a "joke" per se and perhaps not the best characterization by me. It's probably better termed a "catchphrase" or signature move (like Al Bundy's hand or "Dynomight!" or "WhatchatalkingaboutWillis"): "That is how I drive, Flat Out". Joke for me in a sense because the "DickySpeedMaster" clearly isn't/can't except in his own mind. |

lol @ the caterham comment.
WRT the sticker, I kinda like the "This vehicle runs on 100% recycled dinosaur." It would go great w/ the 'I love global warming" sticker I saw a little while back.

The sad thing is that there are people that are like this at track days, well people that wont point you by because they feel their car is better.

Even though anecdotal lap times late suggested that I was 14 seconds faster per lap at 1:24. And I'm known as Captain Slow, so you can imagine how slow these two dudes were. Now that I'm doing RWD, I'm bound to be slower. AWD spoiled me, but unlike SOME people, my point-by finger works just fine. |

What do the event organizers say about this? Seems they should be on top of it to make sure everyone has a good day with their time on the track. Maybe Mr. Fancy Car/Slow Driver is in the wrong run group. Over in the track section Lucid and the Hack were discussing the pressures many organizations face to promote drivers along with the logistical pressures/challenges organizers face (e.g., too many in the slower groups, fewer in the faster groups, need to spread out the number of cars in the various groups), as well as connections/politics. Interesting discussion--here's the thread and the discussion that's relevant starts at post 16. I can only speak for myself, but I'm in the noob group, and that's where I'll stay until my times and my instructor think I'm ready to be elsewhere...I'm not running slow and ruining more advanced driver's days so I'll stay put until I'm good and ready for my sake and the sake of other drivers. |

Well, I was in the fast group mainly because of my car at the time. But I wasn't holding anyone up, and I was keeping middle-of-pack lap times. And yes, the flagging team would hit them with the traffic flag. But when there aren't enough flaggers, you can go half a lap or more before the snail in front gets the idea. :lol
The problem with many of the smaller tracks is that there's a skeleton crew flagging their open days. I'm talking about Waterford Hills in MI. There are seven flagging stations (IIRC) plus the starter stand. I can't remember doing a track day with more than four stations manned plus the starter. It's a volunteer thing, and they don't always have enough people willing to flag, let alone go to flagging school. For the organization-sponsored events, it's a bit different. The Ferrari Club day was fully staffed, plus instructors. But I digress. I sound like a noob. I suppose with less than twenty track days, I probably am technically. |
