Winter Festival Lac La Biche 2009

The sheer number of racers is amazing.

Back to the track

The team did well. We placed 1st in the unlimited class.

What about drama?

A few indents on the track:

This was a bad call IMO having the guys stop at the corner. It (again – IMHO) should be when seeing a red flag that all drivers MUST stop at the safest place. Clearly stopping at a blind corner is just asking for car carnage…. (I’m just saying it just does not feel safe). This would be on both the driver and the corner marshals. There should be better communication.

The other thing I thought a standing red flags looks no different than the corner flags placed around the corners (maybe the corners should be painted a neon splash) – scary for any driver to miss a red flag.

The result was bumper and fender love here and there as the other race cars tried to not hit the cars stopped.
