Just a heads up, they made some changes to Hwy 288 since last year.

The flyover from Beltway 8/Sam Houston Tollway heading east onto 288 south is now open, and same going the other way (left exit).

The left turn (heading south) to get to MSR-H from 288 at the flashing yellow light is no more. You now have to either A.) go down another 1/4-1/2 mile or so and make a U-Turn from the left lane that then feeds you into your own lane onto the northbound 288 where you then merge and get over to the right lane to turn into MSR-H or B.) take the next exit Business 288 and take two lefts at stop signs under the overpass.

Probably not a big deal to most of you, but I know I hate surprises. I'm sure some of you guys with the bigger rigs might want to know. If it was already like this last year, then consider this a reminder.

Definitely new since last year, thanks for the update Gary!!

This change caught me out pretty bad last year, I thought I forgot the way to my closest track in the morning darkness.

Closed the crossover? Thanks, Gary. I'll get a preview Saturday morning down there for a dyno.

Closed the crossover?

Yup, closed all/most of the crossovers down that stretch of 288. Guess there was too many T-bone accidents.

Since AI/CMC is running with AMCM this weekend, the group should probably discuss what the desired race format for the weekend should be. We could do our normal format but the fourth race is the longest. AMCM is doing a Hallett style format. It might be less confusing if we all followed the same format. Deciding before we get there is probably the best plan...

There's no logic allowed here.

Please everyone read the email that Will sent out yesterday with the welcome information for MSRH. We all have a spot to pit together next to the AMCM group (American Muscle Car Masters). Craig + Al also mentioned if anyone wants to bring their own meat to cook, they will have a very large grill available to use Friday + Saturday nights next to us in the AMCM hospitality area.

Will also stated that this year will be a little different with the 2nd race of each day being the contingency race. I am going to call Will this afternoon to discuss since our 2nd race each day has normally been an invert. I will update with new info later.

Also for Toyo bucks, please everyone remember to have your Toyo decals on the car and have pictures taken of all 4 sides of the car before the event starts so we can submit those to Toyo. The contingency information is not posted yet for 2021 but if it is the same as previous year, the photo's need to be taken with a time stamp prior to any contingency race to be eligible to submit for Toyo Bucks.

We're running clockwise on Saturday and counter-clockwise on Sunday, with different grid locations each day. I'm gonna have to re-NASCAR stance my rig overnight. Does that mean test and tune will be both ways as well (my guess is no)?

Time stamp has to be "printed" on the face of the photo? What did you guys do last year?

they sure want to support the racers with these requirements...
