I had no idea event chairs get event credit. So I assume that there's an option for me to use mine, from the november event, when I sign up tomorrow.

Yeah, it's written somewhere.
Or I just made it up to get more people to chair.
I think it's the first one...

Yea for me and Alexis!

Any gripes with running the dual course thingy again? Different layouts, of course.

With the enthusiasm it generated you could get the opposite response: a lynching if you don't do it! :twisted:

Just kidding. I think. :shock:

If you want to make it easier on yourself, just use the previous practice course (perhaps with a couple very slight adjustments: one to shorten a certain straight, and one right at the finish) for competition... that would make a lot of people happy. Then either run the other course for practice, or an adaptation of it, or something completely different.

Hey, ALEXIS, want a co-driver for this event? I can help you wear out those crappy tires.

I like the idea of using the practice course, with adjustments, as the new timed course, but make an all new practice course. 8)
