[QUOTE="nekasrof, post: 12131314, member: 60538"] Novices (those that have never run the hill before) get some instruction and a touring run. The touring run is done by pace car and is not done at any speed you would consider competition. But for those of us who have run the hill before, we don’t get a touring run. SOME folks choose to go to the hill early, either Friday or before and drive it at the speed limit. That just gives you familiarization again. I’ll sit down and watch my in-car about 50x’s. Then, I’ll in-car on Saturday and watch the best run Saturday night til I am sick of hitting rewind! My suggestion for those wanting to run, you pick a similar car and watch their in-car. Then, figure out a way to talk to that person and have them give you their assessment of the hill. I’ve taken people out Friday and Saturday night to give my observations in different corners. However, as a driver giving an observation, there are very few corners in our hillclimbs that I could state “You SHOULD be here or there”, unless you have a similar car to mine. The amount of runs is really dictated by incidents and amount of drivers. The typical crash takes 45 min to clean up. The Duryea event netted 7 runs total: 3 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday( I took 1 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday). Giants Despair netted 14 runs. So it also depends upon the course and how long it is. Duryea is 2.3 miles and Giants is 1 mile. The way a driver attacks the hill is really up to him/her. Some race 10/10ths from the green light on the 1st run, til the finish line on the last run. Some come and run 7/10ths on the 1st run and don’t run 10/10ths til they are comfortable with being familiar with the course again. [/QUOTE]
