Hey, someone call Fred Zust and tell him to find a co-driver. I'm not saying to game the system, but it would be well worth his while.


250 entrants!



Jay W

I'd like to help pad the number of entrants in SK1, but I have no update on my tires that I'm waiting for, so I doubt I'll have them in time to mount/balance/scrub in. Sorry. If you're not on bare rims, then why not run anyways? Oh, and BTW 248 entries right now. Blew past that SFR number while I w...

I am .9 out of first too Jason. It's about .3 or .4 index difference between AS and BS depending on course length. So to make up .9 over two days add all that up and it's about 2 seconds total. I think your math might be off a bit on the index: http://www.ivliberty.com/cars/pax.html" onclick=&...

Don't forget about the Test & Tune scheduled for Friday 1-5. This is a great time to scrub off that mold release compound, OPR, cycle in or finish off all that rubber. $2/run, best deal in the business. Also the Test and Tune will be ran in an area ajacent to the main course, so you'll get an ac...

Solution: Friday's Test & Tune!!!

Up to 217 as of this morning!!!

This is over what I thought, and there still several I know will sign up. Its a pretty safe bet we'll be using 5 run groups.

And guess what, we're only 20 away from breaking SFR's entry numbers (236 actually took a run).

Get out your boys.

I don't think it meets any of the production number requirements, and is not explicitly listed. So mod (E?).

Or do we default to $75 for first place?

Gotta give me some form of a carrot

Carrot is the money. Pole is to get another SK1 driver to sign up to bring the average up to 3.

Jay W

Well, we're just about to break the 200 barrier. Pre-reg is going well, don't procrastinate. If anyone has changes to make, it's much easier to accomidate them now than on Fri/Saturday. So please don't wait. HIST INFO I couldn't leave you guys out in the cold. So I'm announcing a new prize structure...

Easy...........don't go! Not in these economic times.

But then the oil speculators win!?!

Hey Palero, nice job putting the hurt on most of the HS class. Looks like you stayed cool on the first day to put lots of pressure on the hot shoes (who all cracked! besides McHugh).

The question is, will Ashley be able to cash in on the SK2L divisional prize $$ with her number of events attended and the current class participation?

Since there were no SK2L entrants at SD, the answer is no.

Jay W

Will Kalman and Paul Whitehead have Hoosier magnets and run in HS. You can probably borrow them for your run group.

I actually have them in the back of my Prius, see me in the morning if you need to tech with them on.

I also hear from the locals that the bus lot at TMS makes HPT look good. I was just there for the National Tour. Yep, slippy and small. And more importantly the region/SCCA seemed to be butting heads with TMS over the usual things like security, road closures and vending. The had a full time cop 'b...

Only LA has late registration. San Diego is pre-reg only. Miss the dead line and you're hosed.

Jay W

LAST MINUTE SIGN UP for San Diego. Don't get left out, this will prove to be a can't miss. If you're new, this would be a great first 'Travel' event if your new. I'm seeing a lot of Arizona driver's popping up in the registration now as well. I've been crunching some numbers (yeah, I know). Some of...

I might still have an extra or two. Otherwise, slight of hand works very well. We'll need a TireRack sticker and a ProParts USA sticker. We used TireRack windshield banners in SF, but this requirement may be reduced to a smaller sticker, I'm checking with the Solo Div Steward. In any case, the Banne...

How do we sign up for contingencies? I just spoke to Jenny White at SCCA to make sure I had the right forms and she said that the only one they are handling is the Bridgestone program. Can we just submit paperwork at the event? I apologize if this is already posted somewhere and I just didn't see i...

OK -- so I'm good with math so the number thing is pretty straight forward to me.....but the class question, well....^&&%^%@#@#$@#% I signed up for HIST for the El Toro divisional -- what subclass does that put me in? I usually run HIST-HS in our local club but the application didn't seem t...

Ask Mark Durst, he's the chair down there. And probably follow Steve's advice above in the future

I just noticed this turned into some discussions about the Div. This only applies to the Jul 18-20 Div Friday's T&T would be a great place to get your feet wet. It's open to non-registrants, but you do need to get your car teched before taking any laps. We do allow 'Day Of' reg on Friday night o...

"May" be excluded. My Orange Dakota was 118, my black one was actually 131.

Thanks, Steve. Two down...one to go. How do work assignments work for minors? He's co-driving a kart. Looks like most of your questions already got answered, its nice to have that support. Minors typically get things like 'Data Entry' or 'Trash Detail'. They're not allowed in hot areas like course ...

Just wanted to through out the reminder that there's free money to be had for the SK1, SK2 and CSM classes for those that run both SD and LA divisionals. As registration sits right now, you guys are missing out on the big bucks. SK2 only needs two more drivers to 'double up' on the events for the pr...
