Re: saving spot in Div 1
The parking issues are nothing new and especially at Atco where pavement is limited.
Before the alky cars were given the areas they have now, racers taped off large amounts of pit space.
Bob Lange tore it all down one year and said no more of this and enforced it. He probably said you could save one extra space and no more.
Atco was so packed we were pitted off the back and were squeezed in like sardines on the pavement and that was not many years ago.
I have arrived at many races on Thursday early evening and got stuck way down the return road at Atco or way down the end of the field at Cecil. Racers coming in Friday were better off since they parked us back first and later arrivals ended up closer to the starting line. Made no sense to me but I don't drive the bus.
I really don't care except for being pinned into your pit spot when your called to the lanes thanks to the scales and fuel check being backed up and nowhere to go.
I left my trailer at Atco on Sunday and will be there early enough that I should be able to get my MH back in front of my trailer without a problem, I hope....
Atco is a great track but pavement is limited......
Rain is definitely in the forecast......
