Pace Car Speed
Oct 28th, 2011 at 12:53pm
 
In watching the last at Mission race I noticed that THe Pace car was running way to slow.
Especially for the faster groups.
This looked like it actually was causing people to virtually stop in order to get enough gap to warm their tires properly.
This seems to encourage the pace car to go even slower!
Making things worse!
I find this terribly dangerous as cold tires/brakes equals problems for all.

May I suggest that a speed be determined for the pace car and it be held regardless until at least turn 7. If people are too far back at the start, I would start black flagging then. Things would straighten up in a hurry!

Summary:
Too slow is unsafe, for high horse power group pace laps.

Hope everyone has a great Winter!
See you at the Banquet
