So, what did you do today?

What were the extra rules Richard?

Lots of little dumb things. No passengers. No parade laps. No open passing in any group. No outside food allowed. Only registered guests allowed in and only after 10:00 and they had to park outside and you had to go get them. If you had a "race prepped" car you had to wear your full driver's costume. Etc... There was a never ending stream of e-mails announcing more and more restrictions and instructions. Some of the restrictions came out after people were already headed to the track. Rick always provides water for the instructors. He wasn't allowed to bring any in but the track was happy to provide him with the water for $48 a case...

I heard that once the people that had deals with them were done that they were not going to let DE's rent the track anymore.

We don't really know anything about that yet. There were four contracts for DEs. All were canceled apparently because the track decided they didn't want to do DE's. Social media and lawyers exploded. The four contracts were quickly reinstated. The general hope by all of us that want to run the track is that the DE's will go well and the track will decide it would be OK to do more events. The first one by The Driver's Edge went well by any account I've heard. Track management was there checking things out. It was pretty clear that we were to be on our best behavior to make this event go well. We'll see what the future brings.
