Early Session entries have the lead on Late Session entries by over 2:1. Early Session is half full already.

All those early session folks must be made of sugar...they're afraid they'll melt if they get a little rain. :)

Fairly simple course this time. Might require just a little bit of thought to get it right, though.

The good news: Fewer elements to make mistakes on.

The bad news: The mistakes you do make are going to hurt.

Strange situation with registration.

Early Session sold out several days ago. Not unexpected, it's been popular lately due to the heat and not uncommon afternoon rains.

But, we could really use a few more people in the Late Session. Particular, experienced people. We'll likely pick up a few more novices and first-timers in the Late Session before registration closes. Enough to make things work. But, it's always easier when there are enough experienced folks to balance out the noobs.

So...

If you're a non-novice type person (at least 5 events) registered for the Early Session, willing to switch to the Late Session... PM me, I'll move you and give you a $10 credit for a future event. Offer valid until Monday.

I’m on the waiting list for a dual registration. But I’m willing to just switch to the afternoon session and “triple work” to help out. No credit needed.

I could do registration, timing, and tear down if that helps. Or I could chase cones instead of timing, but I figured there’s less people that can run timing than can chase cones.

I just accepted your registration, Gerry. Had a couple people move already, I think we're in good shape. Thanks!

I might switch to the GTI, still an M3 car, the acura currently has a weird lean while cruising condition that might be an exhaust leak between the header and the cat, going to get the new exhaust gasket and bolts and springs tonight and see if it fixes it

Switching to the Porsche. Cobra’s don’t like rain, neither do their drivers.
