There's no refund if you bail, but I also found out that they'd likely take me as a last minute entry.
Sure enough, by enduro time, I was shot, so I packed it in, nothing lost. Had I paid I'd have been out.
At least with NASA, if you don't take to the track, you get refunded. And you've got two weeks to do it.
Guess when I get to be your age Frank I, too, will enjoy NASA events appealing with their ten minutes per event of race time. Oh wait, I am your age. It is the youngsters whining that has me puzzled.

Not whining, Kev, just sayin' they shouldn't be so stiff about it if they want to see registrations rise.
Totally agree on the NASA/PCA thing, PCA way better, just not as flexible, and no contingencies.

track is in good shape, was out there this weekend, it was slippery but at the end of the day it was grippy.

Be aware, STINK BUGS are swarming out there..i mean they are everywhere especially by the woods. there has been alot of problems around here with them and they git in all your cars if you leave em open, my students door sills where filled everytime i got in the car and when i got hom last night had three fly out of my tow vehicle.

Should be a good weekend, see you guys out there for all 4 races.

I think we will still have a normal qualifying run Sat morning before the Sprints. Grid for qualifying will be set off Friday practice 3. That is how it was last year.

Weather.com paints a nice picture for Fri-Sat-Sun. Mid 60s, sunny.

Oh great. I can already hear it: "I packed up and hit the road back home Saturday afternoon. There were too many races. Plus the new pavement was too smooth and the stink bugs were horrible."

"I have a car and will be there."

Who cares?

I want a refund due to the Stink Bug infestation, the Stink Bugs will slow down my Spec Boxster and that will screw up my Rennpoints Fantasy driving career! I drive on a much higher level, how will I be able to drive Flat Out?

However, I haven't read this thread or understand what everyone is talking about with the extra sprint but want to state that I am against whatever Scott and Hunt said.

I'll figure out what that means later
Hey Paul 996, do you actually own a 996 ?
