We keep a waitlist for the DEs if you want to call in to either me (x162) or Karen (x164). There is room at NJMP.

Screamin Z

were thinking about doing the NCM and Chin event at VIR. 4 full days!

USA1C5

That's what I'm talking about.

Looking forward to VIR; great group of drivers, instructors, fun track, NCM runs a very safe and fun event and watching Tom demonstrate the correct right side pass by signal is worth the price of admission! Looking forward to seeing the people who make the event the best of the season.

Yep--missed it last year--it was a must for this year, even though I'm doing less events this time.

HEY HEY,

{note to self: ask Art to give point by signals demonstrations at fist meeting this time }

Screamin Z

The Blinker method worked good at RA and Putnam Park.

AU N EGL

Yes we will be using the Blinker method.

Roc, I and many other believe it is much safer.

Screamin Z

I have video at RA where a driver pointed me by to the left and the instructor to the right. That must be one of them there "miscommunications."

How does the blinker method work when several cars are behind you and you are letting all of them pass? Do you just leave blinker on untill all have passed? or like the hand signal you turn blinker off and give a new blinker to each one? Here I go again questions, question, question. I'll try to keep it to a minimum this year.

Screamin Z

Turn the blinker on for the first car. When they make the move to pass. Turn the blinker off. Second car comes up. Turn the blinker back on. Repeat.

USA1C5

Okay, thanks. Sort of like the hand signal, seperate signal to each car.

AU N EGL

for a left pass

YOU move to the RIGHT, turn YOUR LEFT BLINKER ON

First Car behind you passes/

The idea for this is you keep BOTH HANDS on your steering wheel. many times when you put your hand or arm out the window, you start drifting left INTO the car that is attempting to pass you.

and some cars, the window sill is just too high for ppl to get their arm out.

AU N EGL

Something like this the first car behind should WAVE OFF any passes until the first car gets it correct.

If there is a left passing zone, and they point right, you should wave it off.

Can we still use the hand signals instead of the blinkers? I don't think my turn signals work.

Screamin Z

Yes. But they dont check blinkers when they tech your car. Brake lights yes, Blinkers no.
