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.

Calling Tom Denham. Tom, if you can get four, I'll more that likely join you to make a class.
We have five now .
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. Come play with us, George!

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. Although Saturday was frustrating, I can say that Sunday was a lot of fun.

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?

Thank you Christine.
Thanks for the link, but it states that is is only a "sample"
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.
