    Yessss, pleeeeez!!

    But really, the entry needs to be lower than the $600 Glen 4 hour entry. At the ARRC me and a codriver spent just a little more than that total to run an ARRC, a ProIT AND the 2.5 hour ECR. I know it's a different track and region of the country, but I'd do a $400 enduro at Thompson, even a 2.5 hour, especially if I could get a little double dipper break for doing a regional too.

    Has NER SCCA determined what other dates in addition to the opening the Club will be at Thompson?

    All your base are belong to us, too...? Many, some of you guys need to write cogent sentences...

    What I *think* you're asking...NER is having three events there: one pre-opening check-out day, that Jerry and JB discussed at the Club Racing Board meeting, the July event, and the October event. NASA has announced races in June and August. - GA

    Edit: JB Swann is now NER club Racing Chairman. Might want to begin being nice to him...and he doesn't drink, so he's not as easy a pushover...

    Hardly. Buccella can attest that JB is usually the most entertaining of the compound well into the night...well, before he gets tired and crashes, anyway... - GA

    Please tell me I don't need to pretend to like the sound of an IT7 exhaust especially in the morning.

    I have been racing with mufflers on 2 of my cars. It's really nice .
    92DB limit lets us race more often at night and helps maintain a "we care about the neighbors" perception.
