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.

[Russ Myers]

Why not put ITB with ITC, and ITA with ITS. I'd like a shot at not being lapped for once.

Good suggestion...the A and S cars are closer in lap times than the A and C. Almost caused problems last year. CB

We did that prior to 2010, but changed it because of complaints that the slower "fast" cars were screwing up the faster "slow" car leaders. The thinking is that with the wider split in speeds (and a split start) we have fewer overlap issues. That seemed to hold true last year.

One downside, of course, is the slower cars run a nineteen lap race instead of the full twenty laps.

The answer is to give everyone their own race, but are you ready to spend a week at the track (or have a $1000 entry fee) to accomplish that?

And even THAT won't solve the problem in all cases. The ITB race last year was f*cked up when the leaders came up to lap another ITB car!
