If I was gonna do it, I'd enter a class. Get there early, make your pass and get on the road to the next track. Seeing them at Darlington last week sold me on that idea. The eliminator guys are a huge group and they have to wait for the class cars to make a couple runs before they can.
It's an expensive commitment too...around $3k to do it.
That is what I did in 2016...too slow to make the SME 32 anyway.
I was within the first couple pairs down the track, along with Ray, made one run and hit the road. Was still a LONG week.
If I go again, I would want to at least be somewhat competitive. That said, already looking into what it would take to wake the Plymouth up...lol
