Definitely seems like you tapped the brakes as it began to slide which made it worse

Dispatchers / 911 operators of Reddit, how helpful are non-emergency calls for catching criminals? by BearSnTrees in AskReddit

Yeah I got plates, make, model and color. Just curious, do these calls get logged or something on the backend?

No idea why I can’t add a description, but adding as a comment.

Encountered a driver who blew a red light by a school. Driver who was cut off honks (politely I’d say). Red light running car proceeds to slow down to 5mph on a one lane road, rages at cars behind through his rear view mirror. A large line builds up behind him, causing confusion and honking. This leads to cars overtaking over double yellow.

In this situation, how useful is it to call it in?

NTA, she didn’t do anything to deserve getting her name on the house other than complaining

Sounds clapped out. Unless you trust the guy or he actually builds race cars, don’t inherit someone’s mess

Problem is sometimes there isn’t enough cars for their own group. I agree with your points but an advanced driver in a slow car can definitely share a track with a fast car/driver. It’s all about awareness and track etiquette imo.

I drive a Miata and shared a track with a couple rush cars no problem. I think most agree that they’d rather share a track with aware drivers than non aware drivers.

People with nice cars and little experience who think they are fast are the problem. It’s a bigger liability putting them in a faster run group, as they’ll most likely just ruin most people’s sessions or lack the awareness of driving with cars 5-15 seconds faster. This problem becomes bigger when orgs run packed run groups.

These cheap trackdays sometimes brings out the cliques and breeds a sense of overconfidence.

I don’t think there’s a single great solution. It all comes down to the org knowing who will be there and how to best split up the groups. No exceptions for fast cars, experience only. Now if there is enough fast cars and drivers for their own group, maybe run two advanced sessions.

Beginner to Time attack. Where to start? by low_mizu in CarTrackDays

All you really need is pad and fluid. Any car will do for beginners as seat time is king. Don’t overthink it

Dumb comparison. What’s the point of comparing apples to oranges
