AJ,
Cool, good luck. The racing was very close and quite entertaining last year. You mentioned only 28-30 drivers that were all new, are any of last years drivers competing for a spot?

Awesome report bud!

Bill, I think he mentioned 10 -12 people will be joining them tomorrow who ran last year.

So, that makes 40 or so contestants, and what 30 open slots?

AJ, you're going to like Infenion. A bit like MO, some blind crests with the track out not visible. (Assuming the put you on the main course) I don't remember it being *quite* as technical as MO, but, you need to be in the right plaes at certain points if you expect a fast lap.

Rise to the top my friend!

AJ, Drive like you did at ARRC and you will be just fine. Your BS and jeff gordonlike good looks should add to the package!!!!
If all esle fails and you feel threatened of getting cut, bring out the three wheeled Honda and show them your skills!

Seriously...... Relax and enjoy it will make you faster.

AJ, Good Luck! Makes me wish I was 40 years younger! (but knowing what I know today).

Curious.. I heard that it was a non-refundable 25K deposit to try out.. is this true? Good luck!

I haven't driven MO, but Sears Point is a VERY technical track, and since Bruton Smith has tried to make a large oval out of it, there are way fewer reference points than there used to be. Especially down through the esses.

If you want, I will post some links to my in-videos, that show the track in the early 90's, vs the track as it today.
