Re: Proving Grounds 2011 feedback?

A centralized information nexus would be key. This would facilitate solutions to several issues:

1. With the wind, it is very very hard to hear the announcer call your class to staging lanes -even harder if you are over watching an event such as drift.

2. An updated schedule should be maintained via a simple web page and also displayed at the aforementioned information booth. I saw a whole mess of cars leaving for breakfast not 5 minutes before the announcement that the drag time table had been moved up. This could cause issues.

3. Sinage. A few signs to point towards tech, autoX and info booth would be of great benefit. Plus they can be reused for years to come.

4. Suggested addition: mobile dyno. Just a thought...

5. Obviously faster tech. Sitting in like for a few hours was confusing at best.

6. The guys that ran autoX were amazing. I've never seen an event go off so efficiently. Please invite them back next year.

7. I really enjoyed racing heads up VS bracket. However, there might be a need for a bracket field as well.

8. I actually don't mind the drag announcer... I enjoy the old school folksy of it all. I think that with the plethora of top fuel cars that see that track, he's just keeping it real.

Anyway, that's all I got.
