It may be time for an intervention. Besides, there were less than 50 drivers total.
I have Brad sending me text messages that he's jonsing, too. If you're intervening, don't single me out!Quote:

No, that was a Viper and a Porsche. The tumbleweeds all have Christmas lights on them this time of year ;)Quote:

Hey guys!
I'm actually down here in Corpus right now and just got back from running the December event with STBR.
They actually always do a Saturday/Sunday "event". For your entry fee, you get 6 practice runs on Saturday and your 6 "real" runs on Sunday.
Not everyone shows up for the practice so Saturday usually doesn't have as many folks as on Sunday.
STBR is at Canabiss Field which is still an active air field.....so they are restricted as to how much of the runways they can use.
Because of this and how they set up their courses, they only run one car at a time. Most courses are over 1 minute in lenth and they have the usual timing issues, slow corner workers, car breakdowns, etc.... so you DO spend all day at the event.
Today had 30 entries and didn't get done until well after 4 pm.
They do have very challenging, long courses and if you need seat time, it's worth coming down here......just be prepared for an all-day event and not much time to get lunch.......alot depends a lot on the run/work order that day. This weekend, I had the 1st heat off, ran the 2nd heat, worked the 3rd heat and stayed out to work for the 1st heat's 2nd set of runs (you work 2 heats in a row). Then back to grid for my 2nd set of runs......got done around 3:30. Didn't stick around the 3rd run groups 2nd set of runs.
They don't give out end-of-event trophies......only trophy hats at the end of the season for their class champions.
They lost their pasture, err site. There is no scene out here for cars that turn, if its not a mustang, camaro, or firebird, they don't want to have anything to do with it.Quote:
