Hey I'm trying to figure out what time I should be there on Friday, what time does practice begin? Went to the SCCA website but event schedule page would not open.

And I just bought R comps so I'm staying in DS, not running in SK2. The other four ran in DS at the Tour, so they're in at the Pro too, I assume. I'm looking forward to this! First time on R comps.

The clutch on the S2000 is going bad, and at this rate, I don't have the time or funds to get it fixed before the Pro. It looks like several classes need a couple warm(ish) bodies to fill for the class, so I'm happy to help!

R-comps have been described to me as crack. I can say welcome to the darkside, and it's not as addictive as they would tell you, I only have 6 sets of used R-Comps and one set of new old stock in my posession, not at all addicted. And no I am not in denial because a thousand Civics at Tour blew my doors off on street tires.

Appreciate the kind words.

I'm so ready for Friday to be here. I wish we could run the tour/Pro immediately together. Sun-Fri, 6days of mayhem.
So, any bets on the weather?

Section 20.10.C
to quote
" Actual groups for each event will be designated in the Event Supplemental Regulations.
Example:
Group 1 FJA, FJB, HS, GS, FS, ES, STS
Group 2 L2, DS,
Group 3 CS, BS, AS
Group 4 SS, ST, B1
Group 5 STX, FSP, ESP, DSP, STR
Group 6 CSP, BSP, L1,
Group 7 ASP, SM, SSM, SMF, STU
Group 8 R1, R2, F125, B2
5. Final group assignments will be listed on the Event Supplementary Regulations and/or as a posted Driver's Notice."
I think he was looking (as I have also) for an actual run order list.
