Hmmm might go to watch this one....
Why have a sports car like that and not race it?

You're going to see everyone flying around the course, and you're going to kick yourself for not registering.

Let's go!

7 S2000's are registered for this so far. Not too shabby. Anyone else interested?

I'll bring charcoal, but I don't have a grill. So someone needs to volunteer to bring one.

Also, some other food/drinks.

Is anyone else going to bring their girlfriend? I figure they can work the grill while we're racing or working the course. It'd be nice to have some eye candy there too.

Get there as early as possible. Try to memorize the course when you're walking it before the race, and find some flappy-mouth experienced driver to ask questions to. Air up your tires before the race.

And above all: have fun!

Yeah, that's the National Tour coming through. I usually steer clear of those races. CenDiv Events are bad enough with how many people there are and the rule whores. National events add a whole different level to it.

Most people from Chicago Region and TSSCC run in Milwaukee also... so their races are large enough. It takes much longer to go through the day, and you generally get fewer runs.
