It IS dissapointing that we don't have a test day, but it is hardly a reason to not show up. Be honest, if you thought you had a realistic chance in winning the ARRC with a test day, have your chances really changed that much without one?

You DO still get 2 qualifying sessions! Use your first as a practice session.

Borrow a Road Atlanta tape from somebody and watch it every day until the ARRC, you will have no excuse if you don't "know" the track by then. Walk the track Thursday night. If you need one, email me, I'll send you one!

In qualifying, pick a "fast" local guy and follow... good drivers can follow anybody, even without great knowledge of the track they are driving.

Remember, many of us have little to no experience at RA, but if you are really good enough to win, you are good enough to overcome this set-back. The only time I ever won the ARRC was in 1999, 1st time at the track, with NO practice day! I've had several practice days and ARRCs since then, but no W's!
