We're two weeks out now and 3 spots remain open.

Everyone please check the Registration List to be sure you have the correct vehicle and class listed. I'll be starting on grouping and seeding classes soon, and need all that info to be accurate.

I just edited my entry to run my Miata instead of my Nissan, I couldn't do Dan's though, so if can't get his edited in time, please make note that he will also be in S4

Hi, I ran 2 or 3 events with you guys last year (Andy Surprenant)

I will know later this week if I'll be available. I could run in either M1 or R2 (whichever fits better with your entry list).

Would you have a spot for me?

Looks like you made the May and July events last year, Andy, you're good to go!

M1 has 4 entries, enough to float.

R2 will likely be combined with R3 and R4 because they can't stand alone.

So, really, either one would work. Take your pick!

Once Andy registers, there will be only ONE slot left. If anyone else has been procrastinating... the time is now.

There are a couple of cars in R1 that should be moved to R2 and R3...let the Cobras duke it out on top, and combine R2-4.

I like the E30 ,one of my favorite bmw's
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!

Loren, when are you posting the workers list?

Say, has anyone ever asked if we could do the course setup friday evening? Not sure if I'd be available to do it this time around, but could be nice if it were an option.

Worker lists? What, you don't like surprises? :)

We are checking on Friday setup, and if SPC okays it, that's the plan. Great minds think alike.

Just wanted to make sure for those that are doing setup and other pre-race jobs. Cool about friday setup. I'm free Friday evening if we're a go, but wouldn't be able to make it down there till about 8pm.

We're doing this event a little more "old school" since it's a member event and we know all the "cool kids" will be there. Our focus for "workers" will be on the event itself, making sure that we have qualified people working key positions like starting, judging and grid and plenty of workers on course to prevent delays and reruns.

We have an event chair (me) and two co-chairs (Steve & Ed) who will handle most of the setup. We'll let y'all know if we're setting up Friday (and what time), and if people can come help, that would be great. We'll grab volunteers as-needed on event day, but once the course is ready, it's all about getting the driver's meeting done and getting things rolling! We'll rely on volunteers to help with teardown and resetting the police course. It will all work out.

Ah, makes sense! Just FYI, you don't want me on the finish line.
