Quote:The hoops are only a problem for them who can't stay in the lanes.
Or for them (as in more than one driver) that are running behind someone else that biffs a tube and kicks one out into the track
Or for those that Marshall and get their foot tangled in one that got knocked out of place by a vehicle.....and they take a tumble while their head winds up 'in the way' of a flying 5 pound pile of plastic and aluminum.
Or for the marshall that might get one shot out from under the tires of a car/truck whos driver didnt see it laying there.... and the marshall gets it stuck in his eye.
The current 29 cent hoops SUCK.... EVERY time I have been at the track, I was picking some up, and trying to push em back in while marshalling. If it wasnt me, it was someone else.
Quote: have been getting prices and the best so far is 2.50 a three foot lenght. I need 200 hoops. right now I can use that money for the lights we want outside.
Your track, your ideas, but from the cheap seats, that $400 or so, seems like cheap insurance, to keep participants a little SAFER.
But than again, there is ONLY 14-15 hours of daylight now.....them lights are more important than some kids eye. :mad:
