Based off of the positive comments & the quick pace of the last event, we're going to try to stay with the 4 Heat structure as long as the entry count allows us to do so. Anything over 120 should allow for the 4 heat structure. The proposed Run/Work order will be posted on Saturday.

The SCCA needs two people to blow the course on Sunday morning starting at 7 AM. The SCCA will provide gas-powered backpack blowers. It will be your work assignment for the day. Contact me if you are interested.

Methinks that after the recent rainstorms there will be some shovel work required, too!

Left after our runs in heat two, but it was a great event. I hope heats three and four went as well.

Great event, and the course was awesome! I love the bus lot. :-)

Nice driving Mr. Baker. Just when I thought I was back in the game, you shatter all my hopes and dreams...

I like the X Class as it really pushes a driver to get it done in just 3 runs. I did not have a co-driver but Cobb and I shared an idea. He ran before I did and the idea worked. I used the idea also and that is what made the difference. I guess this is an example where co-driving is an advantaged over a single driver. That is why I don't like co-driving as it gives an unfair advantage to a team. I won't get on that soap box.

I asked my self what would have happend if the proposed class reorganization was in place? R. Jones in AS vs BS and the MS-R in BS using the current pax numbers. I was surprised that it did not change the finish positions much. It will be interesting to see what the Pax numbers will be with the move to non-R tires for most of us in Stock. X-Class might be completely different next year although most in the class will still be on r-comps or slicks.

Yep. Since Tire class will be going away I figure I'll jump into the X-class pit of doom.
