    Wow that is like a completely different track than what we ran last time. The cones or whatever you call them would not allow you to go out and use the runoff areas like Kevin was doing in several places.

    I'm working on a 5min highlight reel from #34...should be ready by the weekend because I'm lazy AF. Will post here when done. Great weekend all, that track is a treat to race on despite the cost.

    Ditto on the racing, fantastic track even better with the boundary rules (or lack thereof) and shortening the turtles. Super expensive. I'm still open to doing a shorter course - we don't get many laps in in a 30 minute race.

    We didn't get many as many laps on Saturday because we got hosed by not having a grid until 5 minutes before race time.

    Sunday we got hosed because of full course cautions for both races.

    I have zero desire to run the short course. If anything letting us go through the short course for outlaps and cool-down laps would be a better option. I'm not sure how viable that is though.

    Course not, you're super fast on the full course!

    I was surprised at how much carnage there was this weekend, lots of totaled cars in various groups.

    Was there any explanation for this? I know Marshall was asking for a grid sheet multiple times and we didn't get anything back.

    I'm really sorry on the grid issue. That is on me and Clifton... We learned a hard lesson, unfortunately at everyone else's expense.. My apologies.
    Regarding the short course out lap, I suggested that last year and the track config wouldn't allow it due to the movement needed for the required barriers.

    Is there a track limits rule for Nationals? Or generally...
