SpecE30 Parking area at CMP moved


#1

It looks like they’ve moved us over near the tower. We’re also sandwiched between two groups of officials to provide the additional supervision that we’ve cried out for.

Note also that pre-grid has changed.

I saw that. I’m going to miss the trees. I guess I’ll just have to pee behind somebody’s truck :dry:

and by “behind”, I mean “on”

At least we are still close to grid. It looks like the new location will allow them to roll-on/roll-off sessions like Road Atlanta. That will eliminate some wasted time. Yay! More green track time.

My only complaint is that the old layout would trigger the Traqmate to start when you crossed start/finish so it would record the pace lap. Not a big deal if you are only doing data, but with the ChaseCam synchronized with Traqmate it was handy.

I’ll just have to remember to start the camera separately.

This could be a disaster. We are directly across from the AI/CMC guys AND GTS AND far away from the noise police at the front gate? I know some of those guys like to party. Something may be burned to the ground this weekend. Im just saying.

Trust me, I understand. The last time I observed the stickers on your bumper I had the overwhelming urge to urinate on it too. :stuck_out_tongue:
