I think we had one event chair for both of these sessions? If we run dual sessions in the future, splitting the job up between 2 chairs with ~ 30 mins of turnover time would be good. It might even be easier to find event chairs since they don't have to put in a 11-12hr day.

Let's give Loren a chance to sort out the next points event on 4/14th. I'm still waiting for someone to step up as a co-chair Sunday. I have a fun backup course that works at least and we can set it up Saturday afternoon/evening. I doubt you'll ever see a stampede of Chairs or Trailer Towers. I'm inventing a drive thru autocross.

Yeah, just getting one event chair has been a challenge. Two ain't gonna happen.

But, don't worry, Steve and I have it under control. We'll yell when we need help.

Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Doug I'll co-chair with you. Let me confirm I can get off for work and I'm in.

If you want we can co-drive the Mazdaspeed and give your RX-8 a break. I think it cringes when it sees me.. :lol:

Thanks Matt we'll pencil you in when the event opens on the 15th sign up for that position. "Ottoman". Sounds like "automan" at least :cool:

The problem with doing it at Brooksville is the cap on people. With 70 drivers (assuming everyone shows), it's difficult to fully staff four run groups.

"Unless" it's "two" separate events on the same day.

So... no one took any pictures?
Cones fear me... The timing lights, they just laugh.
