Since I realized I don’t have to work Monday I’ll hang around all day now, like we talked about Philip you’re welcome to drive my car.

:thumbwink: nice. I think we should have a small group of people on sweeping duty if it's like all past parking lots we've run on.
If only you drove a car that was familiar with dirt, oh wait..

You got a point. :thought: Everyone bring a bag of sand with you so we can spread it onto the course.

Okay, we finally got past the "risk management" review, and we're good to go for this event!

Here's the course map. It's a lot like some of the stuff we used to do at SPC, only a little looser.

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

From looking at the 25 foot black block measurement in the course map, the course cone spread layout seems bigger than other parking lot events. But again, I over estimate the course map and course usually ends up way tighter than I thought.

Man, that course map brings back memories of the SPC site. Looking forward to it!

I hope we see a lot more Lakeland open events.

How do I register a guest? My brain is not processing the site wording so well. Do I need to create a motorsportreg account for the guest? When I try to "add a person" it wants birthdate and address, while saying that I cannot add them to my registration.

I followed Loren's link only to find myself confused by what a "subaccount" is. Felt kind of the same as looking at a common word I always spell correctly, yet wondering if my spelling is correct. Either way, I was not able to get a long enough break (Hospital Night Shift) in time to register my guest.
