    Default "Back to the Future" Thompson, July 2014

    All-new track lap records...

    So I had to do a double-take WTF on this entry in the supps:

    Commercial Unmanned Aircraft System (aka “Drone”) owners/operators must have proof of FAA certification
    and $10M of primary liability insurance naming both SCCA, New England Region and Thompson Speedway
    Motorsports Park as additional insured. A general liability insurance policy must specify that it includes the
    operation of Unmanned Aircraft. Recreational use of unmanned aircraft is prohibited.

    JB, you just trying to make sure we're reading...? At least the fixed the alcohol rule this time...

    I'm'a gonna count the number of people that actually bring their helmets to tech for an event sticker.

    Makes sense to me especially considering that the pricing of those things is attainable these days. I could easily see people bringing them and causing major issues.
