This looks cool. Curious what the format will be, especially after dark, with novices.

Are there lights at MSR-C? I was guessing this was going to be TMS roval.

The novice wants to go
The event runs from 3 to 9. The sun doesn't set until 8. Won't be dark till around 8:30. So plenty of time to get your laps in before it gets dark.
Lol. I'm gonna guess it's lead-follow or mandatory instructors for any novice. I can't see SCCA doing this and promoting it so heavily without having planned for minimal risk.

I'm in, definitely April and May. Sounds like fun in the advanced group.
I'll try out the run/work idea to see how it goes.

Interesting that SCCA regularly bombards my email with notices about merchandise and events elsewhere, but no SCCA member I've talked to (several who run at MSR a lot and/or are members of MSR) have been contacted about helping out by instructing.
Going to go just to see who is involved. Bob Neff (Texas Region RE) says it is being run by the national office and Heyward Wagner. He only got a contact to help get corner workers.
Would have thought the SCCA would have done a zip code search of member database and reached out to existing members for help. Guess that makes too much sense or takes too much effort.

2003 Z06 -- Not a Miata, but 3200# and 400 RWHP is fun
OTM -- 2012 Sierra, 2016 Impala (Appliances)
Agree. I was going to do it if an instructing opportunity was available, but I haven't seen/heard a peep about it, other than the silly email asking for people to promote it.
