Any chance of using the pro pits this time, Butch? CB

It's a bigger deal to use the Pro pits from an infrastructure standpoint, so the only event we'll use it in 2010 is the ARRC by GRM (and then we'll use both).

If you use the standard grid on the old side, what is the problem...those of us who want to park in the pro pits will just have to be ready somewhat earlier. CB

It's a $1500 fee to use the second paddock.

[chuck baader]

Butch, that is a little above my budgetbut I would think there would be enough of us willing to pay extra to offset the cost. CB

I think I pulled the clutch out to soon on the downshift over ran the motor + the hit is what did it.

Just out of curiosity why do you not like the club side?

Zsolt, awesome video, nice driving, good job! Sorry about Saturday though, that must be annoying...

[chuck baader]

I don't dislike the club side, but the pro pits are no where near as crowded, and you are not piled on top of each other. In addition, There is good power there, enough to run both my air conditioners on the MH. CB
