Adam in car 151, currently listed in blue group so that I get some instructor to evaluate me before deciding on where I end up in PCA events (I am newly classified red - white equiv - in TDE).

Hmmm. Definitely not my instructing style.

I'm not expecting to be able to do anything before March.

I wouldn't plan on it. We've tried bringing track support out in the past but it just isn't profitable for them to show up. It is different at MSR-C where track support (PST) has a shop at the track. But traveling isn't worth their while when most cars are driven there and back home.

Club races are a different story obviously.

PST hauls their rig and equipment out to Eagles Canyon for PCA DE's too. However, it is probably only an hour from MSR Cresson for them. But then again, the near side of Houston is only about an hour or a little more from TWS.

Default Volunteers needed

16 days to go before the event and counting...

Who wants to volunteer and help me out at the gate on Sat. morning and at grid-in during both days?

Timing wise, you fast drovers in white will be the most helpful if I want to get a couple of good sessions in myself as well.

I am attaching a sign-up sheet (volunteers.zip) indicating availabel slots per run group. If you're interested please fill-out and email back to me: june05 at perquin.net.
