Braunfels99 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Since Drew brought it up I figured to make this a separate topic. Feel free to add or disagree.... What about a hot pit in the infield? 2 jacks, 2 battery operated impacts and one trusted crew member most everyone knows(at least for that class thats racing and a guy capable of the task).or one designated guy for the night..Teams could leave tires in the infield marked left side, right side,etc...with your name on them and so on....Hell i would pay a few bucks to a willing volunteer...if everyone in each class paid a little something the crewmwber could make a few bucks and if ya just need a tire change you could be back on the track before the restart.... Just thinking outloud....may be a bad idea...or good.....just seems it would be a lot faster than pulling off track and safer than coming back on when under green....

Jones41 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm all for it! Didn't take much time at all to go two laps down. Damn sure would help that speeding problem I here at every drivers meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtRacer9s Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sounds like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks Trey..... I got back out but was a lap down. I was moving back up but being a lap down kinda hurt the finish. I just think we need something on this to get going for everyone to have a chance. Iknow they may wait a lap or two, but the time it takes to get back to the track is what takes the longest. Not complaining here, its for everyone tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodwayracing18 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Goliad has a hot pit set up in their infeild, they have some concrete barrcades like on the highways that the cars pull into to change tires. Crew members are there waiting. I also thought I heard Eric say they where going to put a hot pit behind turns 3&4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielsen Motorsports Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 nor are they allowed to change tires during green flag action they must do it under the yellow even in the infield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodwayracing18 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 nor are they allowed to change tires during green flag action they must do it under the yellow even in the infield I know it is for safety reasons. But what is the use if you have to wait for a caution you might as well go back to your own pit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJonesLLM69 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 We had a hot pit in Houston it worked good. all we had there was a three sided wall around us. it keeps the danger out of the pit. i know no one admits to it but when coming into the pit with a flat they speed in and out and some times recklessly. It happens every race no one means to but it happens and you dont even realize it at the time. Im all for an infield hot pit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
