first time at LHR/ Now 2nd time -
01-02-2006, 10:26 PM
Well I went to LHR For the first time.
I drove for 2 hrs for BS like this.  What a dissapointment with other drivers out there. Lots of selfish ppl.  PPl were not taking FREQ clips like they should have and I watched some just walk into the pit area with them. Hardly any marshalls out there or some just marshalling for certain rides. PPl hogging the clips and running tank after tank after tank not giveing others a fair shot. This gave me hell and a waste of my time today. Inconciderate ppl when it comes to doing the right thing when turning on radios. I did all sorts of stuff to eliminate any issue on my end. I came up clear. This is the first time I have been to any track for race or practice that this was so caotic. If you are not running or don't have a clip keep your friggin radio off. That so friggin hard to do? Well I do not think so but others sure do find it hard. Geeze. I dunno what it would be like for race days but practice days there are for the birds. I finally get the chance with my buggy out there and going good until the back stretch and wham left turn and into the wall....the rest of the was was crapola to get it back. Even in the pit my buggy was going nuts. With or without the engine running. I will come back and try a race day and see how it goes then, but for practice days---my gas, my time, my rides are worth too much to me for and idiot.

I am with you on most of that. It was an absolute discrace of a day for the track. There were too many little rich kids with their parents money who thought they knew it all. It was an unorganized mess. (I feralt like I payed $8 to marshall most of the time. I was running my ass off and after the same vehicles as the driver went to the stand time and time again... I ran about 1 - 1.5 tanks MAX today.)I do think that it had a lot to with it being the last day before school starts for a lot of the younger drivers. The only thing I can think of is to maybe have something to sign with rules or something when people pay so that the newbs have at least some clue.... I will still go back and definitely race though

Ya dont let 1 day taint you. I think the regulars will need to step up and keep an eye on things a little better. If we see clips in the pit room, remove them and let the person know this is not allowed. If anyone see's a radio on without a clip, warn them, this is reason to be ejected.
Thank god for spektrum. On another note...not to many young ones on race days and too many people watching for this kind of stuff... MBX5T - O.S. MBX5R - Novarossi Nomadio

Yeah, I think it just was the day. I went last thurs/fri, and it was litearlly dead. Thursday was the least amnt of people, and friday had a few more. The only problem is still marshalls, but on a day where only a few are running, you don't really need that many. Try going back on a school night if you can, there'll be alot less people and you won't have to deal with me lol..

Biodragen, you never introduced yourself man!
Whenever I am waiting for a clip I find the person who has it and I tell them "I'm waiting for the clip, please look for me when your done" then I stay close by and easily found. I rarely wait more than 15 mins for a clip.
