Thanks for the link, but it states that is is only a "sample"

" 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.
Look at the back of the sheet you get when you sign in. You have to be there all day either way because of the format. They usually only move one or two classes to balance the groups.

ST cars running in STX will be an issue. Especially for two driver ST cars.

Actual run order, or better yet work order would be helpful, but I will be there all day. The only bummer is I have to miss the BBQ on Friday night and leave before 5 on Saturday. Bought the wife Season Seats to the Angels and Friday night is the home seaon opener and of course we have a game Saturday night as well. Busy weekend.

Official Pro Solo Rules (Tons of info, a must read)

General ProSolo Schedule and Information

-------------------------------------------------------------------
(all found in ProSolo rules)
Heat Names:
Heat 1 Saturday morning (Sat AM)
Heat 2 Saturday afternoon (Sat PM)
Heat 3 Sunday morning (Sun AM)
Challenges Sunday afternoon (Sun PM)

An example of a run order, will change based on class sizes. Official run order will be printed on the registration paper you receive when you register:
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

Work order based on run group order:
Work Shift A Groups 1 & 2 Running
Work Shift B Groups 3 & 4 Running
Work Shift C Groups 5 & 6 Running
Work Shift D Groups 7 & 8 Running

You must work three times: Sat AM, Sat PM, Sun AM and we need volunteers for the challenges (best seat in the house to watch)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Grid positions will be posted at the entrance to grid before runs begin. Sat morning you are lined up by numerical order, the other heats you are lined up by class finishing order after the previous heat There will be two grids, A and B. The grids move quickly so keep an eye out for what group is running and what group is getting into the other grid. There is no break between "Groups".

Runs: You get two runs on each side per heat. For example you are in grid spot 11. This means that you will start on the left side course. Run the left, right, left, right then go to impound. (It goes very quickly so if your adrenaline isn’t pumping by the time its over, you are probably dead)

Impound: After you 4th run you will be directed to impound where you have to open you hood and trunk and then wait for results to be delivered. This is so that if there are any mistakes in the results you can bring it up while everyone in your class is around. Results can be both slow or fast so have patience and the Impound workers in blue vests will bring them to you and then release you (do not leave before they have done this).

If you can make it to the site early on friday there is a Evolution Performance driving school specially tailored to ProSolos.

Also on Friday afternoon (3-6) there are practice starts. If you have never done ProSolo, you need to do this to learn how to handle the lights/tree.

Mako, understand the implications, however marital happiness is much more important that running. It will all work out. We just need to keep the rain away.

Come now Arthur. There are 700 more Angles games this year, but only one El Toro Pro Solo. Tell her no game and she better have dinner ready when you get home!

Sweet, I had to do exactly that the last couple of years. Luckly, I can't afford seats this year, too many kids on my payroll these days. Where do you sit?

Mako just told me about this event.
I'll be there to watch the action for a few hours & to get me worked up about joining the ranks soon, but I have prior plans that I cant break at this point.
I plan to be there at the end of the month. :thumbup:

Meanwhile if you notice me wandering around all alone being I don't really know anyone there, Please say hi, so I get to know more of you. ( I'll be wearing the Black tee-shirt that Says " Beer is proof that god wants us to be happy" :mrgreen: )

Damn, I saw you there in the shirt and I was going to come over and compliment you on it, but I saw a bright shiny object and got sidetracked. ;) I met you during your first stint with us.
