WTF, Peanut!?

WTF, Peanut!?

I attended my first SCCA event, "Track Night in America" at Atlanta Motorsports Park on August 24th and had a good time. The event is structured like an abbreviated track day "lite", with three run groups, each run group having three 20-minute sessions. The track night was fun and it was nice to be on the track in the evening rather than in the sweltering heat of day.

My only complaints are the event was a bit disorganized (if not dangerous) due to a lack of coaching/instruction, and one dumbass in a yellow MG "Peanut" who apparently chose to run in the intermediate run group, despite not having a clue as to how a track day works. Dude completely ignored passing zones, apparently had no comprehension as to what a "point-by" is (basically a means of allowing safe passing where the driver "points by" a car in his mirrors).

nDespite "Peanut," the track night was a success. Here's some footage of one of the last runs during the evening as the sun was setting
