    Friday Sept 16, 2011
    5:00 PM Mandatory Driver's Meeting
    5:45 PM - 6:15 PM 30 Minute Timed Practice
    Saturday, September 17th , 2011
    9:20 AM - 9:50 AM 30 Minute Qualifying for Sunday's first race TIMED
    SUNDAY, September 18th, 2011
    9:00 AM - 9:45 AM 13 Lap Qualifying Race
    12 NOON - 12:45 PM 15 Lap Qualifying Race
    2:45 PM - 3:30 PM 19 Lap Trophy Race

    I'd be all over it if it were a double or a triple. But 2 qualifying races? If a qualifying race is like kissing your sister the two qualifying races must be like getting to second base.

    One of the ITC guys is lobbying for it, but I'd prefer to do the two MO double regionals, I can't do all three. ITC race would get hammered by S,A,B and SM cars in that group.

    Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they’re sober.

    If you're in it for the season points race - I get it and agree. But if you're in it for fun and track time (race time), can't beat it. The amount of track time for the entry fee on top of the pro races during the weekend... Doesn't get much better than that! Race, short break, race, short break and 'the' race all on Sunday! Jam packed day after enjoying time (2 days) at the track with friends and tons of racing!

    Hope to see you there!

    From the supps:

    11. The PADDOCK will be marked for SCCA, and will be in the upper grassy area; this is the only place you may paddock.

    I assume our driver/crew credentials give us full access to the facility all weekend.

    On a serious note, please arrange for a couple of clean Polish space capsules up there in the boondocks. Thanks.
