Loren, the link you posted for the early entry list is for the test and tune. It will surely cause mass confusion.

Can my 19 year old friend from Brazil with a usf2000 indy racing license sigh up for this event and codrive my slow neon ??
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!

Racing license means nothing to us. Does he have a valid street driving license? I guess it doesn't have to be a US license, but our insurance does require a valid driver's license.

If he's over 18 and has a license, he can register just like anyone else... even in your slow Neon.

I had to cancel my entry for the morning session. I have to go out of town for that weekend. Do I receive event credit since I cancelled pretty far in advance?

As long as you CAN still cancel, you will always get event credit. Once pre-reg is closed, you no longer have the option to edit or cancel your entry.

For anyone keeping score, that means one of those coveted morning driver slots is open. Somebody take it! (and, if you want to move from late to early, all you have to do is cancel your late and register for the early with your event credit)

I no longer have an autocross toy...

Fortunately, Charles has agreed to let me drive his beast...wait, that doesn't sound right. :? His 240. In case I don't fit (that thing severely limits any kind of torso height), anyone willing to share a car in M2?

If you're willing to settle for just a black Miata, you're welcome to drive mine. It'll fit in M2 as well as it does R1 (it's unmodified, on street tires).

My 240 might give you a little more room with the stock seats, and I will have fresh RS3's on it too, you're more than welcome to drive my car and give me some driving tips as well. I'm in M3 though.

I also just remembered that the pads in the bottoms of my seats are removable so that'd give you another 1". Should be tolerable for ~45 secs at a time

Registration closes Thursday night. So, register if you're gonna register. Cancel if you're gonna cancel.

Hey, Ed. I just noticed you're not registered for this weekend. What's up with that?

You still in for trailer tow? If so, Friday night drop-off?
