Okay guys. Here's the sign-up list as of 10:00am today.

I know some folks are planning on coming, but obviously haven't registered... (Calder!!!)


American Iron
Casey Holdway
Marshall Mosty
Dave Neary
Frank Robertson
Eddie Rock

CMC-2
Randy English
Dave Francis
Team Jordan
Michael Mosty
Steve Mulder
James Proctor
Gary Robertson
Wayne Stehle

With 13 total cars (14 counting Calder), there is a very good chance of being combined with another group. Right now it looks like we might be combined with Blitz (ST/GTS). There would be a split start to ensure we have good gap between classes (at least at the beginning).

I think our awareness of each other has improved greatly and hope that we can "share" the track with our fellow racers, in the event that a combination is necessary.

Thoughts?

For reference, Blitz has 9 cars....

The plan would be for races #2 and #4, our non-tire races.

[Fbody383]

I think their awareness of others has improved sufficiently that they can "share" the track with fellow racers, in the event that a combination is necessary.

Thoughts?

Is that too much of a poke in the eye?

I don't mind running with another group as long as we have a drivers meeting prior to the session and it's clear the group directors are on the same page. I need the practice for Daytona anyway.

Don't twist my words sir...

[AllZWay]

Based on previous history with that group... I am not too much in favor, but that being said... I will race anyone anywhere anytime.

[marshall_mosty]

Just consider it a "challenge"...

Pros= 1. A fun opportunity to pit yourself and your car against a larger assortment of cars (not for position of course, but just to know that you can go faster than a ___).
2. More traffic to try to work through.

Cons= 1. Last chance to earn points for the season may push people to drive a little harder than they should around new/different cars and drivers.
2. More traffic to try to work through.

Either way, I'm up for whatever. Could be fun.

Myself, I would like to see all the class's run together in one last race of the year for 30-40 minutes on Sunday. Invert based on the fastest qual time of the two days. King of the Hill!

We will hold that one off for Nov TWS. Just all part of the fun for that weekend. Of course for that, it'll be Australian pursuit format. Inverted and spaced based off you fast lap time. Figure PTF Brewer gets a 2 lap head start over the ST1 cars. They need to un-lap themselves twice and catch him over that 35 or 40 minutes.

Our closest finish to a race like that was .018 seconds with an 2nd to last starting ASC stock car unlapping himself from a front runner 944Spec. It was a photo finish.
