All,
Looks like the only ringer will be Bill Swenden (ex-Zippo S197). Since Bill was on Pirelli P-Zero Slicks last year (AIX), he went ahead and bough a set of RR's to start 2014. All of you were on the email from Mark Smith regarding this, but Bill is currently not signed up since he's waiting for transmission parts and is not a 100% "for sure" entry for Houston.

Bill will be at AI power/weight for this season to collect points. Let's think of a way to deal with this. From talking to some folks that run RR's, they might not be any faster than a RA1, so it might be a moot point. This was just trying to level the playing field 100% for the first event for sure.

I'm open to ideas here...

Me and Corey were going to run AI again as all the other cars aren't quite done yet in SI.

Hi Bill, we will be there with Jack in SI although registration shows AI running RR's for what its worth

Aaron - if you and Corey register, then I think there will be 3 in SI.
