Looking a little closer, many of those "first timers" are Guests. The reg system flags anyone new as a "first timer".

So, at present, there are 9 first time drivers in the Early Session, and 4 first time drivers in the Late Session. Still a bunch, but easier to deal with 13 than 25!

It's all good. :thumbwink:

We could probably justify letting you drive the FASTiva if it's not. That would level the playing field a bit, wouldn't it?
M'thinks she will be well enough to run, but maybe at the Classic I can go for a spin (figuratively speaking).
More exciting than that... you are crashing the BMW-Porsche challenge :headbang:
I can't wait for that one...!!!

Thanks, Chris! It's a flipped and revised version of a course we did in May 2014. Really fun course.

Thought I recognized it from somewhere. Distances marked for the slalom? You're making it too easy!

Well...the FASTiva can be redlined through that final slalom. The rest of the field, not quite that far. :)

I think we picked up a couple of different clubs for this event. I know there are a bunch of Nissan Z car guys.

free... and useful if you want to compare your times (or someone else's) across classes so you can discretely gloat or groan.
