Track Day Peeves

Well-known member
Humour people, humour -

1️⃣
Pit Bike Pete
Doing wheelies, stoppies, and burnouts between paddock tents - with absolutely zero regard for anyone else around them.
2️⃣
Look-Back Larry
Turns their head around at every corner exit for absolutely no reason.
3️⃣
Leg-Dangle Danny
Hangs a MotoGP-style inside leg on corner entry so dramatically that no one knows if they’re signaling to pit in or doing their best Marc Márquez impersonation.
4️⃣
Generator Geoff
Brings the loudest 1983 construction-site generator possible - runs it all night next to your tent.
5️⃣
Toolbox Tommy & Forgetful Freddy (co-starring)
Always “borrows” tools and forgets to bring anything. Every weekend it’s, “Hey man, can I borrow a tire gauge? Oh, and maybe a torque wrench? Actually… got any gas?”
6️⃣
Critique Carl
Not a coach, but sure acts like one. Offers “constructive feedback” on your line, body position, and life choices - unsolicited. Meanwhile, still rides in B group.
7️⃣
Dog-Poop Dave
Brings his Great Dane to the paddock. Great dog. Giant turds. Zero cleanup.
8️⃣
Talkative Tony
Wants to discuss suspension theory right as you’re thrashing to fix something before your next session.
9️⃣
Power-Strip Paul
Accidentally steps on your surge protector’s power switch, killing your warmers 20 minutes before your session. Of course, he is completely oblivious to the damage he’s done.
🔟
“How-Was-It” Hank
Not to be confused with Talkative Tony, this dude interrogates you with “How did it go?” questions as you pull in after your session - all before you can even find your rear stand, let alone take off your helmet and earplugs.

Honorable Mentions:
Engine Tear-Apart Todd, EZ-Up Eric, and Fifth-Wheel Frank (rolls in with a 48-foot fifth-wheel toy hauler that blocks the entire lane of traffic).
 
What's your beef with EZ-Up Eric?
 
What's your beef with EZ-Up Eric?

I have no problem with EZ-Up Eric.

However, when Eric forgets to weigh down the corners of his EZ-Up, he becomes EZ-Up-Up-And-Away Eric.

And then he quickly becomes Runaway-Canopy-Rick, the whole paddock having to deal with his EZ-Up flying into bikes, trucks and RVs... :oops:

And of course, this only happens when Runaway-Canopy-Rick is out on track on his session. :rolleyes:
