As of today, this event is half-full.

Exciting good news: the airport has agreed to up our entry limit to 80 people. So, we've bumped our registration limits to 60 drivers and 20 guests! Hopefully, that will be enough to keep us from maxing out and having so many people not able to get in.

Early Session? Nobody does drag strip stuff in the morning... do they?

I've considered early session+early work assignment, but I think the event starts at 11 and everyone likes to get there early by leaving tampa around 9ish. I will see when I talk to a couple friends as I don't mind coming in fashionably late.

No. It takes them until noon to sweep all the cans and broken glass thrown at the winning rice burners from the back of redneck pickups the nite before.

Says the guy whose car had aluminum doors as a factory option once:) You need to re read Loren's weight loss tips for M classes. Then see the place for a turbo Bimmer in S1 last event:( I got beat by both a lady and her boy friend by 3.1 seconds. Fair and square. I was the starter and when they launched all the air got sucked out of my lungs.

Wise choice. Never let friends lead you astray...

Friends don't let friends drive once.

For those who thought they missed their chance at the morning session, Phillip Russel and I are switching to the afternoon. Grab one of our spots if you want it.

Aaaaand... gone. Less than 2 hours. I'm surprised it took that long.

There are still openings in the Late Session.
