Unofficial Roll Call:
Who is in and what is your registration number>? Who's just going to watch?
I'm # 034. I'll be getting there early Friday morning, so hopefully if we get a few of us together we can grab a block of pit spaces.

Yes, I agree, but after you've been there about an hour your nose gives up and it becomes tolerable As an event, I had a great time at the one up in Sonoma last year even though they didn't pick my bracket. Now I'm faced with decidint\g to be consistent and run motor only or be faster with the N20 at the risk of inconsistency. They sem to choose faster brackets and being in the 10's may give me a better chance. I can bump the spray up a bit more and easily get into the low 10's...

I'll be there, probably Thursday morning and my reg number is 007... However if its ran like Pacific, the reg number means absolutely nothing!!!
When we rolled into Pacific, there was a guy standing in the street handing out a pit entrance number.. mine was #112.. Which meant I had to sit in the parking lot until 111 racers registered and made their way to their pit spots..
Once it was my turn to register, I received a numbered tech card... this number was 114 and that was my race number for the entire weekend.
One twist they added this year is when you register, you had to guesstimate how fast your car would run.. Then they gave you a different color tech card and categorized you by letter..
A=12.50 - 12.99 B=12.00 - 12.49 C=11.50 - 11.99 D=11.00 - 11.49 and so on... The class I selected was the E class, 10.50 - 10.99
If you have no clue what your car will run, or if you are off on your estimate, it doesnt mean anything to your hopes of getting picked to the show... They just want to see cars somewhat equally matched go down the track in qualifying and the two rounds..
I with you Dan, I can run motor only and be fairly consistent or I can hit the bottle and God only knows how the car will run.. So far this year, I believe there has been one 9 second class and one 11 second class with everything else being low to mid 10's...
Also, this will be the final race of the season, so I'm sure they'll want to finish with a good class..
Good luck to everyone and I'll see ya at the track..

Sheeezzze Ron, I would gladdly take the ticket off your hand!! Why don't you see if you can get a hold of someone and tell them the situation and see if there is something they can do!!

Ron/Ted/Rick...Whatever it takes, it's just a name.... Ron already said "the comformation says not refundable and not transferable"

I am # 35 but don't have a car to race and the comformation says not refundable and not transferable so I guess I am out $95.00 for the entry and extra pass
anyone want to loan me a 10-11 second car for a weekend Ron...
