Re: Course previewing via video
My opinion is that anyone who thinks watching video before running is an unfair advantage doesn't know how to course walk. If new people need video as a crutch to help them along, i'm all for it.

Re: Course previewing via video
There should be a huge big screen tv , mounted on the timing vehicle,with vid of course runs, going on during the race,so everyone in grid can watch.
Re: Course previewing via video
I think the biggest advantage to watching a video would be getting the cadence of inputs through a slalom, Chicago box, etc. So hard to tell on a course walk, so much easier to see in "real time" on video.

Re: Course previewing via video
you'd be surprised. If you count paces for every slalom you walk, within a year you'll know how fast you'll be going through every slalom and chicago box after your first walk.Doug Kott wrote:I think the biggest advantage to watching a video would be getting the cadence of inputs through a slalom, Chicago box, etc. So hard to tell on a course walk, so much easier to see in "real time" on video.

Agreed, I can tell you how much throttle we'll be able to use in a slalom in Toby's car after walking the slalom once.

Re: Course previewing via video
Yeah, but to me, paces don't equate to how quickly you move your hands in succession. Maybe that comes with more experience, or it may vary per individual.Marshall Grice wrote:you'd be surprised.

Re: Course previewing via video
keeping track of slalom paces will allow you to know what you can get away with speed wise IMO. For example when I drive the civic.
22 paces = steady speed slalom
23-24 paces = lift entry accelerate out slalom
25-more = flat entry, flat exit
keep in mind paces are like tire pressures... go based on your own gauge. My paces are tiny asian steps compared to wide stride course walkers.

Even the richest and ultimate race series, F1, limits how many tires a competitor has available for each event.3 extra sets of tires..
