There were 97 testers on track throughout the day with most enjoying the concept
of a FREE-FUN -SPECIAL day on track with their SCCA class-legal race cars. Hopefully they were preparing to race all of
the BIG 4 Club races on the schedule in 2018 at this awesome race track.

 

I am sad to report that not everyone in attendance understood the concept of fun and
friendly associated with this day. One driver took
it upon himself to confront a nice young female
racer with expletives and comments
about her status as a female and driver. Not
good. This is not a serious, you must win, day.
The range of driver skill is significant. The groupings
are not SCCA. That is why you race SCCA.
You come to this free-day to enjoy the track time,
see friends and do some lower-level skill adjusting.
To engage in rude and aggressive behavior in
the paddock is just wrong. Schuyler VanBuskirk
addressed the issue with the offending driver and
his car chief.
He noted that we would consider cancelling
all future free test days for the Club because of
what happened. If you do not want these days
to end, contact Mr. Steven Temple-Ryder and/
or his car chief and tell them you do not want
these FREE days to end. We will base our decision
on your response. If we do continue to do
these FREE TEST days, I would like to see some
of the SCCA family come help us with officiating,
flagging and other tasks to help off-set the ever increasing
costs of doing this event. Heck, SCCA
could even provide stewards for drivers and others
whose concept of why we do this is all wrong.
