East Tennessee Region SCCA

If I'm not vacationing somewhere I will help. About 80% chance I'll be there.

When I'm not working Safety I can help. And I think Kieran has enough experience that he can help, too.

Brian, last year it was Easter weekend, I think. This year it's March so no holiday problem (Easter is 21 April). But that doesn't matter anymore since it's filled with a waitlist.

In for Safety and/or Junior Kart Safety.

Kingsport KMart will be closing, too. It's only ~400' x 400', though, with a separate lot for paddock and grid. The Johnson City store lot would be significantly bigger.

Maybe Charlotte
Spring Nats
Bluvul
Bristol

Gotta save some vacation time for Christmas - kids' band will be playing in the Tournament of Roses parade on 1 January!

Putting a new fuel tank on.

I'd guess a combo of Pilson's/Plaster's advice with Ted's will help. Being less-smooth on corner entry will disrupt the rear and reduce push, but it's something you'd need to practice. Think about how you slalomed the CRX and use that kind of input for the entry into corners. Tweaking the rear press...

Moving beyond the course discussion, let's talk about course-working. I had three consecutive runs where I yelled for course workers to check a cone in the offset before the slalom. I stopped the last time to get them moving on it. They apparently called it in like there was nothing wrong. That's no...

I fly back too late on Friday to make it for Saturday. I think I'll hit GoPro instead that weekend if it's nice.

I agree that walking the course I wasn't enamored of it. But driving it, especially in the Miotter, was a ton of fun! The kart was just too loose and the tires too old to get good times.

I'll be there for Safety

Paul, I'll take the tires and strut tower bars for $350! If they're all still available.

I've heard that two more days isn't going to happen for staff and chief reasons, thus my ideas for extending the four days they have.

Steve, to the contrary I think there would be more time for socializing and fun rather than less. Up to 100' tall light towers are available with relatively few actually needed to simulate late afternoon/early evening light. It would give the organizers much more leeway to work around adverse condit...
