The entry list already shows 225 entries. 54 novice drivers. :shock:

BTW, any of you SCCA muckety-mucks (you know who you are) know how the road course is going to be setup for a Solo II event?

You asked for this...

We're not moving any pavement, so it'll look like it usually does.

On the other hand, we'll be setting up cones to keep you at least 25 feet from anything hard and to keep speeds down a bit.

Since I've never seen the road course, I have no idea what it usually looks like. :wink: Any map links available?

You might as well take me off the list... I won't be able to make it due to family obligations. :banghead:

I cancelled my registration through the DLB Racing's online registration, but please take this as an additional notification (to Mr. Dunn who is mentioned in the note above, and who I also know lurks around this website :wink: ) that I won't be there.

Ya'll have fun, and I'll try not to think about it... :cry:

We will be driving ON THE ROAD COURSE. There will be pylons, as usual, to keep you away from dangerous hard objects and to keep speeds in check. The surface is super-sticky asphalt, that with any luck, may set your brake pads on fire and let you corner hard enough to have a lopsided grin.

dlbracing is at 225 and no longer accepting registrations as of yesterday. I got my first two phone calls today from people desiring a spot on the "wait list" (which doesn't exist). It's gonna be fun!
