So my understanding was this was the second SCCA rally that has used the FIA service rules.
fixed 20 minutes...separte refueling area...parc ferme's...etc.
Umm...as a club rally service crew of 2 people...umm...yah...It sucked. Hard. I wouldn't do it again if I had known how bad it was going to suck. With the normal 30-60 minute services, you can check out a lot of stuff with 2 people and you know if you don't get it this time, you can get it on the next service that is a little longer.
I am curious other's thoughts.
I thought the organizers did a good job in setting up the new system and making sure everything ran smoothly...I just didn't really like the system.
I was curious if anyone knew of an issue of just letting the clubrally only entrants by-pass the "check in" line and go straight into service. Obviously they would need to check out on their minute, but those extra 20 minutes they were just sitting in line twidiling their thumbs sure would have been nice to start working on the car. One positive thing...when you did get to work on the car, it was mostly cold.
I am not trying to complain too much, but it really was a pain and took away from the fun of the rally.
