OK, here is the UFC fight plan; it will be online-registration prepay only, and will be capped at 65 entrants, but will be heavily publicized for several weeks in-advance. Doh!
Don King has a problem with this plan.Quote:

I'll have the run/work order posted ASAP
If you could put a quick shine and polish on the trophy for me while you're at it, I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to put it. Let the trash talking begin. :)Quote:

You will have lots of opportunity to take pictures when you are not working or driving.
Bring your camera. You can get great shots from on top of the stands when you are not working or driving.
I guess my question is ... will there be time that I'm not working or driving?Quote:

That would be funnier if you realized the Hoosier connection when you did it. :)
Tentative Run/Work Order: (this event uses the AB/BA format and a different PM course)
Work A, Run B: 1, 1R, 3R, S2K
Work B, Run A: 2, 2R, 3
Yeah, you lost me on that one. I just like saying Ho-hoes.Quote:

Need Advice Re: Tire Presure
For those of you who race a Miata (NA, NB or preferably NC), what tire pressure will you start with in an event like this? I believe the thing on the door suggests 29psi? Would you start there and then do the chalk test or tire temp test? I've never done this before and could use some suggestions here.
Thanks,
MS
Since we are changing the course at lunch, this will allow each group the opportuinity to watch how others handle the course first (while working). We will continue with ABAB for normal events.Quote:
