I've always liked the snooze you lose rule I've seen at some events where your not in your car ready to go you go to the back of the line and wait. Might not seem fair to the picky people but those who came to race will see the logic in the concept allowing for them to get as many sessions in as possible without worrying about the oh crap where's my helmet or I left my gloves/whatnot over there people.

I'm sure some of us if that's allowed would be willing to help with that. It might not make you mr. popular but people paid good money to do this and shouldn't be screwed by the people who take 5 to 10 minutes just to setup.

I'm coming 430 miles to race and I'll be waiting to run every pass I can get in, I won't be late. This Camaro is ready to rock and will be loaded with a lot VP in the tank and some meth that won't rot your teeth out.

Yeah, that's what I meant... late Friday so you can get some runs in first.

Some of the unlimited cars like to run Brackets too and we used to run them on Saturday which meant some would have to hot lap to do both. Brackets on Friday should break that up a little.

[laynlo15]

Great. Is unlimited a pro tree and heads up or dial in?

[Ace0751]

Do we have numbers on who paid to race for the two days?

Right now it's sportsman tree but if enough want we can go pro tree. Heads up, 2 qualification rounds, everyone qualifies, pro ladder.

Drivers meeting at 0830 may change the tree if enough want it.

[Bo White]

I think alot of the stock bottom end N/A guys were talking pro tree. Probably make a decision when everyone gets there.

[laynlo15]

I don't normally race protree so I'd prefer full tree. When your track doesn't run that on a normal basis its tough to leave on time. I'm used to a 4 tenths tall tree.

[Bo White]

4 tenths is a pro tree. Sportsmam tree is .500

[laynlo15]

Ok I might have been wrong on that. I run the tall tree. I have run the pro tree in the past, but pretty much suck since I don't run it enough. Hey I don't care which one, I'm ok with either, many will also be late. We just need to make sure if that's what we are going to run that we run it in testing also.

[mlee]

The only class we could possibly run pro-tree is Unlimited.

You have to remember we have a ton of new racers and the pro tree just leaves them sitting at the line.

Is there a molasses tree? I'm not bragging, but I think that is the one I could really thrive at.
