CMP Start/Finish Line

[hamurobby]

I would disagree that all went well.  True, no Turn 1 crashes, but I ran off once, and I saw it happen several times with other riders.  I also so people trying to make Turn 1 so hard that they went off the line then cross the line, which can't be safe either.

I think that adding a second timing loop for Finish and either shortenting the first or last lap accordingly would be the only way to manage Turn 1 speeds at the Start and to avoid a dangerous situation during the drag-race Finishes.

I know from Westhold that it's possible, so long as the two loops aren't too close together.

It was told to me by someone else that they (ccs) wanted to do that last weekend, but when cmp built the new timing tower they removed the box and cable from farther down the track torward t14 that was used for just that purpose. Hopefully it will be remidied by next time we go there

I voiced my concerns multiple times through out the weekend and it fell on def ears.  It was a huge risk to take and they got lucky that there were no crashes.
I went off at the end of one of my races when there was someone I was passing just before the finish line.

I hope this is dealt with prior to the next event that is held there.

Yeah, I think it was a cabling issue.  As in, there was no cable to be able to move it.  That's what I heard at the riders meeting anyway.

I really don't see the starts being super hairy in turn one with the S/F line being moved back a little.

Why can't you have the finish line moved back and keep the starting grid where it was?

Doesn't sound like rocket science.

Neither is reading the previous posts in the thread :)
