    Or get passed by.

    I know you're clowning around, but don't forget that this isn't a race. It's going to be a crowded track on Sunday, and with only two run groups there is going to be a potential for some pretty big speed/skill differentials. Thankfully ECR isn't a very complex track, so you'll have plenty of time on the four major straights to check your mirrors for traffic.

    I just got an email from Maggie with the latest count:

    47 on Saturday
    60 on Sunday (Sunday is full)

    Here's an excerpt from the instructor email I just received:
    Is that just for the morning sessions? Will the non ECR experienced people be doing lead/follow all day? If so I think I might bail out cause that would be boring.

    Joe, I don't think either group will be doing lead-follows all day long.

    the track is just not that hard imo. 3/4 of it is your standard turns you have at every track and super long straights to think about what is coming up and look down track for a breaking zone. you wont master the track after 1 lap but your not going to spend all session trying to figure out where your braking and turn-ins are. i just feel like your standard track day stuff.

    25 cars is not crowded at all on that track. Glad they capped it to 60 though.

    Ken do you mind if my gf rides with you one time. I'd take her, but I don't think they will let me.
