This is our explanation of the driving effort "ten This is our explanation of the driving effort "tenths system" for our clients. See if you agree or what you might change!

0/10:You aren't moving. The car isn't moving. You're parked, asleep, or already crashed. 

1/10:You're putting as little effort as possible into driving. You're either strung out, heavily intoxicated, or extremely distracted. 

2/10:You're barely paying attention to the road. You're probably on your phone, drunk, or distracted.

3/10:You're technically functional, but not paying attention to other cars, pedestrians, the edges of the road, side streets, etc. 

4/10:You're functional and paying decent attention to the above items. You're not at all stressed about driving or particularly focused on car control.

5/10:Average driving. Not stressful, not particularly hard on your attention span, but you're doing enough to be attentive and safe. 

6/10:Quick but controlled driving. You aren't pushing your limits, but you are paying more attention to your driving. You can still adjust to sudden events like a turning car or item in the road pretty easily. 

(4-6/10 is a normal range for street driving)

7/10:You're trying harder now and beginning to take risks. You're mostly or entirely focused on your driving and therefore paying less attention to things outside your path. You can still respond to most sudden changes but an increasing number of surprises (object in the road around a corner, sudden mechanical failure, etc.) could catch you out. Heart rate is likely rising.

8/10:You're approaching the edges of your ability and starting to narrow your margins for risk. The car will not always be predictable, so you'll need to catch it occasionally. You're now fully focused. Heart rate is noticably above normal.

(6-8/10 is where most HPDE drivers operate)

9/10:This is as fast as most people will ever go for any period of time. Your chances of dealing with any unexpected moments have significantly reduced. You have a high chance of losing control or being unprepared for a situation you haven't been in before.

10/10:You're at or beyond the edge of your ability to control the car. It's no longer a question of if, but when you'll have an incident.
We'd written a much longer post, but to keep it si We'd written a much longer post, but to keep it simple we're very disappointed and disheartened to hear we won't be returning to Pitt Race due to the facility being sold and set to be bulldozed for an AI data center. 

Hopefully our opinions on this choice would be obvious, but at this point we're going to focus on all the fun we had at the track and hope that all the other motorsport participants and spectators who planned to continue visiting Pitt Race find suitable alternative tracks to enjoy themselves, and that the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is able to regroup and continue their great events at Schenley Park and anywhere else they may end up in the future. We'd attended since the track was built, and it'll be a shame not to return in 2026 and beyond.
Hervey and Ralph had a great Saturday race, finish Hervey and Ralph had a great Saturday race, finishing a very close P2 and P3 overall and both first in class! Today's results were even better but you'll have to wait for that post 😉
We finished the weekend strong with Hervey taking We finished the weekend strong with Hervey taking pole on the short course at Watkins Glen and Ralph making a nice move to take the lead and the win in a 1-2 finish!
