    Default July "Mohud at LRP" Thread...

    ...is gone. It was getting way out of hand anyway, but had devolved into obscenities and overall immature ridiculousness.

    Please start another one if you wish to limit discussion to the event itself.

    - GA, who thinks this is the first time he's had to do this here...

    41 entries so far with 2 weeks to go. With LRP Regional just behind us, a National/Major at WGI this July 4th weekend, followed by another regional at WGI on the July 20-21 weekend, is there a possibility of getting enough entries at this July 12-13 event?

    I am planning on going, but the requirement to "pay up front" for this registration has delayed my entry. If it was able to be "pay with check at the event" I would have filled it out already

    Yup, I always wait until the last available second to enter any event that requires money up front. In some cases, I'll even pay the late fee to be a walk-up entry... - GA

    oooops... my mistake... it is the WGI race the following weekend that is "pay in advance only"

    I have completed my LRP registration and will bring a check to the track

    "The Early Entry Fee for the John Stim Regional is $355 for Entries received before 7/8, 2013. After that
    date the Regular Entry Fee is $395. ... Payment by Check at the track is the preferred method of payment."

    Thanks. Maybe the no pre-pay requirement will help?

    Please note that we are in need of PDX instructors at this point! Instructors get their PDX track time for free, but please note that you have to work in exchange for that time . Two-seat cars and communicators are requested, but we may be able to make arrangements for instructors who have otherwise. Also, PDX passing rules are in effect for the PDX sessions, so point-by's are a must, and there is no passing late/at the apex.

    Wow, I'm really surprised that you're lacking instructors for this. Thought it would have been the opposite.

    Is the motorsports reg attendance actually accurate? At a quick glance I didn't see any ITB cars. Odd.

    Maybe we will look at going there instead of WGI. It means a one day event for me, due to work obligations, but perhaps Ed can get down for both days at least.

    I wish we didn't have so many events back to back at fun tracks but I guess better too many than too few.

    But the Glen is just an awesome track beyond the event. I imagine Kessler will be going, I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone there...

    Yes, the MSR registration numbers are correct.

    Yes, we do need more instructors. I don't think we've exhausted our outreach to Club Racers yet. The majority of the need is in the Novice sessions, in which we need a 1:1 ratio of novices to instructors. We've had to hold back on novice spot confirmations for lack of enough instructors for those sessions at this point.

    Wow, that absolutely should not be the case. Maybe the requirement of a communicator is holding people back? I agree it's very helpful, but maybe that should be taken off?

    We're goin' to Watkins....reasons:
    Only have to miss one day of work, none for Steph
    MoHud has changed the group rotation from what the rest of NARRC has done, which
    puts us in back to back groups, so one of us wouldn't be able to race.
    Like WGI more.
    Competition....no one registered in either of our classes at LRP.
    One of us can enter the Pro IT.

    Stephen and I are sharing a car also... Heading to the Glen as they have the ProIT. The "extra" race looked appealing at Lime Rock but it was to much money for what it is. Would love an event that offered a discount for two drivers sharing one car in two classes... Not only would the Funks and us be happy but it might attract other people trying to make it on a budget

    Too many races. Tough problem.....first world problem, but a thorny one for the regions. Darwin will have his say.

    Damn, are there really only 78 entries to the event? I thought last time I looked it was much higher than that, but maybe I'm confused and that was for another event.

    77 entries plus 6 for the SSM and Others race, plus 65 entries for the PDX, which is probably 3/5 paying students. Still though, the numbers are far from impressive. I wonder what the break even point is.

    We also still need instructors. Right now we have novices signed up that we can't confirm, because we don't have an instructor for them.

    I know that I've said it before but tell potential instructors that if they don't have a communicator, that is okay for this one event. The let the novices know this. It's helpful to have a communicator but not necessary to be safe and fun. We really can't afford to be turning away novices who want to do this. It'll be pretty sad if we do.

    Not sure what breakeven is now, but it used to be close to $70k from what I recall. Majors is happening now at the Glen. Maybe people are waiting until that's over to see if the car survived then will register? But then again, Majors, then this LPR, then Glen regional all back-to-back. That's a lot.

    I don't think having a communicator is required.

    Too many events, I agree.
