Vetaran Race Driver Slams Cmsc!

[miniace]

A vetaran race driver in his letter to SLAS slams the conduct of last held CMSC Katukurunda races.few of his comments are posted here for the discussions.

"The postponement of event was not notified officially to competitors & general public. The supplementary rules issued for the December meet did not refer to the original date of the postponed meet. The supplementary rules did not have any connection to the previous rules issued. This second set of supplementary rules had apparently not been approved by SLAS Committee."

"The layed penalty for not attending the ‘compulsory’ drivers briefing as per CMSC letter of 9/12, and supplementary rules clause 30 said that not attending the briefing would result in the competitors grid position being moved down by one position.This rule was niether practiced nor non implimation was announced."

"The Chairman of the Organizing Committee was a competitor. Possibly violating SLAS Rules / code."

"Clause 6 of supplementary rules states that there must be minimum of 5 starters to run an event and if there are insufficient entries for an event to be run, the competitors in that event would be permitted to run in the next higher event. However this rule too was not adhered to as several events with less than 5 starters were run concurrently with other events, instead of placing these competitors to run in the next higher event as per the rule no.6."

"The “Stop / Go” penalty board was covered by the spectators resulting in competitors not being able to see the board. Organizers had not made proper arrangements to have this penalty imposed properly. Although rules say stop / go is 5 seconds. It was not correctly adhered to."

"Paddock sheds were constructed in a very flimsy manner resulting in several sheds breaking loose. The roof of the weighing shed collapsed. Insurance was not extended to cover these eventualities.."

"The goose neck tyre fence was very weak, could not withstand the impact of vehicles on contact, Some of the skidding vehicles hit the tyre fence and tyres thrown on to the other side of the track where the cars were racing in the opposite direction nearly resulting in near on collision."

"There were no toilets constructed for competitors or spectators."

"The competitor numbers were not of correct spec. The stickers were tearing off due to water."

"No official race programmes available during practice day and also on race day"

"There was hardly any visible promotions of the meet. Newspaper articles on the race before and after are essential to promote motor races. No attempt was made to bring spectators."

"The compulsory 30 minute waiting period after the postponement of the races for allowing possible protests was not practiced ..Not even race officials were seen after 15 minutes."

Man, don't mention the toilets last time man. There were some porta-pottys last time when it was raining at Katu. For one thing, getting to it involved wading thu a swamp. Dont even wanna think what I was wading thru. And inside was definitely hold ur breath and try not to throw up territory. I thought it was a good move to have then things, but a little fine tuning on the placement, and more importantly, teaching the buggers who use it how to use it properly if needed. Guess the second part would be a little hard for the clubs to manage thjo
