I wish I had known about this before signing up for the Chin event & working out the vacation days. Four consecutive days at The Glen with some pro coaching at C/S would be the ultimate. Unfortunately, family/work obligations don't allow it this year. I'll definitely keep this in mind for my 2010 calendar! Have fun y'all!

Hi Ari
There is still time to call in sick, you know.
I will be at Chin + Cups; see you there.

Cool about the lunch. I'll probably give it a try.

Rick, look forward to meeting you. I'll be running in Blue (intermediate solo), with a black 944T, orange numbers #475. Unfortunately, calling in sick is problematic in my profession, and my wife would probably notice that I was gone by the end of the first full day of C/S.

All you can eat deli buffet and back into the car..................probably eliminate my need to go down the hill to refill gas.

And referring to SMS's and Rick B's weather forecast (shame on you for using the r word), it's the glen, fer christ's sake. It will be cold and rainy and hot and humid and then something in between, and that's before lunch. (deli lunch)

@DanR the coaching sessions are sold out. You can check with our registrar Chris Whaley Wednesday morning at registration to see if there were any cancellations or no-shows.

If someone wanted to switch groups from Saucers to Cups or viceversa, after a few runs
is it it possible?

Or is the schedule written in stone?

Just asking.....

BTW, it is going to be a great "dry" (as far as weather) event......

final run group can be changed at the event based on skill/comfort level by the track chair and /or track stewards

Palo,

s997gt3 is correct. If you are not comfortable in run group you selected, you may request to switch run groups. Depending on the situation, it may require a check out ride with our chief instructor. Obviously we will not allow drivers to continuously move back and forth between groups.

Marc attendance is down this year which means the same amount of track time we are all use to, but with a lot less traffic. It will definitely be a different event this year.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the coldest winter day I ever spent was an august day at Watkins Glen.

Hail, too.
