You'd better confer with Steve on this. 75 probably won't be enough.

With 65 pre-registered drivers and probably a net of 10 walk-ons (usually 5+ no-shows and 10+ walk-ups), you're looking at about 75 drivers. That doesn't include guests, which are invariably more than what people have registered. (Jamie can give you a count of registered guests)

Publix is another option, no gyros but better pricing.

More than that. We have 75 people signed up (65 drivers, 10 guests). Count on enough walk-ons to get to 75 drivers (regardless of no-shows) plus another 10 guests...that's 95, so make it an even 100.

Chris paid you to ask that question, didn't he? ;) We have one...and three of us have seen it, since it just finished the safety review last night. Should get it up sometime tonight or tomorrow. Don't forget to print one out if you want one on-site.

100 mouths to feed sounds good. i was gonna say 90 but better too much than too little.

As for the SPC form and waiver...I don't have it yet, so I'm amazed someone was able to download one of them. Again, those forms are refreshed for each event and we cannot use the old ones.

^^ Miata Yummy!

Anyways, I am leaning toward the Publix option. Cubanitos, Sub Platter and Wrap Platter....

If you didn't already - I'd suggest having them make the sandwiches "dry" and providing the condiments separately. Let folks fix up their sammich the way they like. Be sure to order a non-meat/pork choice - like turkey .

If anyone has any reasonable special diet requests, now is the time!

Nice job course designers. Wow that's a lot of overlaps there in the middle. Kudos to you for being able to have the vision to come up with that. Love the new timing system that pretty much insures that we'll never see the same thing twice at SPC.

This particular course could have easily been done with the old timing system.

Can you post a PDF file of the course so we can print?
It appears we will only be able to have one car on the course at a time?
What times are estimated? 35 -38 sec.? 5 runs?

Jamie did the course map and what you see is what you get. The quality won't be great, but you can print the JPG.

Pretty much one car on course. Looks like a low 30-second course to me. You'll get at least 5 runs, that's up to Jamie.
