Frank (Gums)come out and play
i was IN, registered, got a suite, the whole deal, then PCA reneged on my medical that I thought was approved, so I'm OUT. First time I'll miss the Showdown. Not only out, but probably GONE.

Sorry to hear. I hope everything works out in the future.

Ok, crazy question:

Why are the 5 SPCs in the Red run group when the faster H, I, & J cars are in the yellow group?

That's an odd split - we are going to be pylons for most of the Cup cars.

That's the way it was at the Monticello race as well.

Perhaps we are "responsible"?

I found that a little odd as well but the run groups are small and there are not a lot of Cups so there should only be one Cup pass per race for each of us. I guess the powers to be felt that the SPC guys could be "trusted". Maybe it will rain?

You silly weather watchers. Those models aren't accurate this far out. That forecast is going to change 8 times before next weekend. They might have some semblance of accuracy by Friday.

Ditto. Maybe if you're retired or self-employed two extra doctor visits every two years for a working stiff is a PITA in the current medical environment where doctors barely have time to talk to you if you're really sick. PCA doesn't require anything for DE and frankly I don't see much difference. At least make it every four to five years.

Odd mix. Going to be a lot of traffic management for both groups.

Yes. Based on Rennpoints projected times it would be better for the 3 J cars (1:27-28) to be in Red and the 5 SPCs (1:30-1:32) to be in Yellow.

Car count would reverse from 33 Red / 31 Yellow to 31 R / 33 Y.

Even then I doubt it! Only way to accurately predict the weather at NJMP is Radar and looking what is within 10 miles LOL That or look out over turn 1 and see if it is getting really dark over yonder
