Speaking of classes, I moved myself into M1. Look at all those damn S2000's.

Me too! It's such a big unknown at this point. Either utter success or total failure... :no:

looks like a FAST layout, should make for some close racing :)
Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!

Nice!

Although could we remove half the slalom cones...then I think it would be perfect! (possibly a bit biased)

Bill - not sure what supplies are in the trailer, but fwiw the leftovers from the party included a case and a half of water, 1 1/2 12packs of Pepsi, and a 12 pack each of Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew and Sierra Mist.

Actually, the first sketch had a kink, rather than a slalom...then I did the August SCCA event and realized how rusty my slalom skills have become. Promptly went back and worked a slalom into the design!

Eric, where did you get your magnetic number thingy from? My son-in-law is looking for a set, and, I may swap out for a new color also.

Mine are vinyl, but I can get low-tac vinyl like Tim uses on his vette, that you can take on and off quite a bit! If you just want numbers, they aren't too expensive, if you want them on a background like mine, they can get pricey depending on how big you want them. Do you have my email? If not, shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

Paul, you can request your assignment when you register. Just check the first page of this thread for what positions may be open (depending on when Jamie last updated it, which is usually every evening, just don't hold him to it). You can then go back and update your registration.

There's a field for worker position preference in the online registration. No guarantees, of course. You might increase your chances by including (briefly) what experience you have that qualifies you for a particular position, or any physical limitations that might require you to not "shag cones".

And you can always go back and edit your registration before pre-reg closes... which it probably already has. Check the first post of the event thread (this one) to see if all of the "special" positions are filled. If anything is open, you can request by posting here or PMing the event chairman... but the preferred method is to handle it via the online system while pre-reg is still open. It's just easier that way. (and we're all about easy)

The "Push Harder, Suck Less" philosophy explained:
Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I'll be posting the SPC registration forms for download as soon as I get them. Remember - don't bother with the old ones, they're no good...
