Butch, any chance on moving STL to a different group or moving group 1? Most of the STL racers are likely to come from ITA, and with the groups back to back it would be difficult to run both.

[Butch Kummer]

It would seem that swapping Groups 2 & 3 would be simple, but the emphasis in the Tech Shed will be on the non-Runoffs classes (IT mainly) and I wanted to spread those out to reduce the impact in Impound. We also want to run the IT groups in the morning so any Impound issues and/or protests can be resolved before the Awards Party Saturday evening. This schedule also gives the IT guys a better chance of watching their buddies race (which is important to many of them).

Finally, "most" of the STL cars will be coming from Spec Miata, won't they?

Hoping to finally make it out. I didn't know that about their test days, so really I could just run one or two sessions and just pay for what I'm driving?

They do not have "partial day" stickers, so what you pay for the Road Atlanta test day is determined by when you sign up. If you sign up Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning you pay the entire $225. If you sign up later in the day on Thursday your fee is pro-rated by the number of sessions still left in the day.

i.e. - If you want to run session #1 and no others, you'll pay $225 for that single session. If you plan to run all day but break on the first lap of session #1, you'll still pay $225 for that partial lap.

Ohhh OK gotcha.

Butch - SP2 and SP3 in Group 7 - is that the 944 stuff?

[Butch Kummer]

Yes. This will be the second year they've been invited to run with us, but it might also be the last.
