    This is a single-course format ProSolo, if I'm not mistaken. Tried that at Walnut Ridge last year... wasn't too impressed. Hopefully with a year to work out the bugs it will be a better event.

    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Hmmm... I'm definitely considering this. I'd rather do this than the divisional because there might be contingency money involved.

    Ken, if there are problems filling up classes would you consider co-driving? Have you made hotel arrangements?

    You should buy an autocross worthy car that you can autocross - Look at Ken O

    It's closer than the divisional in LA. Google maps has it at around 6 hrs. 40 mins. from my house.

    What a great car! The brakes are bad, you can’t launch it without blowing the warranty, and you need a support vehicle to haul tires around! Where do I sign up?

    I don't think you have enough gas and oil to make it to the sign up booth. Also it's up a steep hill so if you do find enough oil and gas, you don't have enough torque to make it to the top

    This event isn't a real Pro Solo unfortunately I"ll probably stay home for that reason alone.

    David,
    You don't even drive a "real" car. So you might as well go to a "non-real" Pro?

    Sorry...... I just like picking on go-kart drivers that try to convince people not to go to an event because it's a different format!

    Seriously, what makes it a "real" Pro Solo anyway?? And before you get all excited & tell me it's not a "real" Pro Solo because "there's only a single course", you didn't even try the single course format last year when attendance was low at Walnut Ridge.

    I can tell you one thing, if entry numbers don't increase for the Newport event, National won't even consider a Pro in this area of the country for next year!

    Then we can all stay home with David!

    I'm going! My daughter, son-in-law, and new grandson live in Little Rock, so I'll save on the hotel but I'll be driving 100 miles each way to the event.

    Oh well - it's that far from my house to Mineral Wells.

    I'm looking for a co-drive for this event. Tom are you still going? Please PM me if you're at all interested.
