sorry double post but i wanted this on both threads....
.....................

Sorry to ask and rain on anyone's parade here but does anyone here understand what type of competition will be at this event?

My concern isn't for Jody winning anything. My concerns are simple. This will be an environment most people on this board won't ever understand. This will be a town full of drivers wanting to prove something. It's not a drive in the mountains guys. It's not a run for Ice Cream. It's going to be an environment that will breed an anxious adrenaline into the best of drivers.

How many have truly driven with Adrenaline? How many have been anywhere close to an environment like this? I ask this because I like Jody. I feel you guys are throwing her someplace almost any driver will or can not be ready for.

If this is truly a goodwill mission for 6SO then I fully agree Jody is a good ambassador.

I can't believe anyone would want her to run this event if they know her. I can't believe anyone would willingly look over the handful of guys that have thrown their hat into the ring that have extensive driving experience and pass on them.

In 5 miles it only takes ONE small mistake in the mountains and we will never see our Jody again. It is extremely hard to not let the emotion of a clock not get the better of any driver. It's extremely hard not to get caught up and push that 1 small bit too far. This isn't an AutoX track with cones and runoff. This race will have a large number of drivers that have hill climbed many times. Raced the Silver State Classic several times etc etc etc.

This adrenaline filled crazy place will be hard not to put the throttle down. It's the American way. It's nearly impossible not to push too hard.

I want to be the first person to Vote NOT for BoxsterGirlie.......I would prefer Jody isn't someone that pushed 1 corner too hard one June day because she wasn't quit ready.

party pooper I don't want to be. voice of semi sanity maybe.

Jody your driving skills and autox skills are tested and I applaud that. I wish you the best of safety on this venture and wish you and Todd would think about it a little more. Also Jody remember your Insurance will not cover you for such an event.

Be Careful if you really do this. I'd prefer to see you and the dog on a Saturday drinking coffee in the future.

 

excellent advice IMHO and why I said "BE SAFE"

 

I didn't read the actual website until just a couple minutes ago. Be very very careful out there Jody. I have never competitively race, but can only imagine how it will be out there. Stay safe and I want hourly updates via facebook on you

 

I voted in favor of Jody with the assumption that Jody as well as the race organizers would simply use good judgment. I admit I know nothing about the race, but has their historically been problems?

 

Congrats BG, that's great.

 

Thanks so much you guys. I appreciate it!
