We were there last weekend and it was the fog that was a problem, not the rain. At one point visibility was under 100 feet. The MX5 race lifted the fog a little, but it lowered again before TA went out. It lifted after about 5 laps under yellow and then was ok for the rest of the race. By the end, the track was coming in pretty good before a broken transmission oiled everything down.

If you want some other race video from RA, I have some here: Tom's Race Videos

Great fun track, but I hate the folk with more HP that give me and my little putt-putt Turtle hassles on the straights.

Anxious to try another new track!

Do you think we could ask PCA to put us F class with the E cars and sp3 cars? Much more interresting for us than running dead last in our small group.

Love to have the F Troop run with us! However I remember hearing a while ago that PCA maxes out at 20 cars per mile per run group. With a four mile track, that could be the issue here. Lots of low hp cars --Just an unfortunate numbers break.

But it doesn't hurt to ask!

We're in Chicago for the week, and it seems that the days are longer and longer waiting for Thursday.

Tweaked my back on Monday taking the bike out of the trailer, and it's just as bad this morning. Hopefully I'll be able to get in and out of the car

Early weather forecast is looking pretty good. Warm...mid 80's Sat & Sun. 20% chance of rain Fri-Sun. Monday could be wet.

Evan, you are going to do great. It's not a difficult track to learn. The roster in E has arguably every top driver in the country. Never seen this many legitimate potential winners all together at the same time before!
