    According to google about 8 1/2 hrs. Ron, you show up and I will supply you with the coldest beer you have ever had (note to self to be sure and bring the liquid nitrogen)

    I hadn't noticed that grouping. Of course, I am sure that if enough SM guys register the stewards might be willing to give them their own session. Otherwise we might gets some good practice in traffic management. Of course if we get enough IT guys to register, then WE might have our own group.

    Not necessarily - you can run IT/SM both Saturday and Sunday, and run a 90 minute Enduro!

    Brian, the several ITC cars that I have been assured will be there include some that will run with you at 70whp. Nashville Superspeedway times show that it tends to favor handling (and driving) over horsepower too. The ITA lap record is only about 3 seconds faster than the ITC lap record. A lot of time is spent turning. And turns are why we road race aren't they?

    I like hearing that, It is way more fun to have other cars around to race with.

    It's good to see that Paul will have someone to chase/run from in ITS.
    ECR enties are needed. Two 20 minute qualifying sessions for the 1 1/2 hour enduro. So both drivers, if there are two, get a full session before the race with no track time wasted with drivers switching during Qualifying. We set this one up like I preferred when I ran ECRs. A Qualifying for one driver, then about two hours later, qualifying for the second driver, then the race later in the day.
    Easy ECR points? Maybe.

    Tom Lyttle is the only IT7 entered. I don't mind seeing him take away some SARRC points, but not that easily! Somebody come make Tom work for it.

    C'mon, Bill. I've had a problem every Sunday for the last three years and haven't won one yet. I need all the help I can get then. (Saturdays have been ok.)

    i'm good with you winning Tom. I just want to be sure you have to outrun somebody to do it.

    For those of you who haven't raced with us before at Nashville: I think you will find it a very different atmosphere than at some other tracks in SEDIV.
    Just as an example - We don't have a Paddock Marshall, we have a Paddock Host. His/Her job is not to direct you around. It is to help make your weekend a fun experience. They will be wearing a vest so you can find them, in the garages usually. They have a radio to find you the help you might need, from an official for example, or the answers to your questions.
    Most competitors use the big, wide open garage. That puts everybody close by making for a social atmosphere that is not so easy at most paddocks.
    The RV campground is free despite having electricity (50 amps), water, concrete pads and cable TV. And you can paddock at your RV.
    Come see us at Nashville. Spectating is free too if you can't race that weekend.

    Up to 62 entries so far. Still time to enjoy "Southern Hospitality" at the northern end of SEDIV.

    Plenty of room in the enduro as well.

    I'm hoping that ITB ends up with a few more entries.

    It's good to see that the ITB Blue Streak will be there, even if it isn't blue any more. As I recall it was still blue when it ended up on it's roof at the Tarmac Performance Rally. It looks like every IT class will have someone to race against, except IT7. We need more IT7 to make Tom Lyttle run hard to win.
