I'm looking forward to seeing how they tweak the format from Wilmington.

You don't count Mark, I know you are going, JB if it favors street tires any more then they won't allow r-comps to even compete!

So...I'm assuming the tour will be held in that same Turner Field lot as the regional I went to last year. It's the one with the old field's diamond laid out in brick, right?

I've never heard anyone else complain, but I felt like that surface was beyond awful. Super bumpy, especially near the bricks. I just knew David's car was going to come apart on me...well it did a couple times but not due to the bumps n' humps. I dunno. Maybe that course just didn't avoid any of the bad stuff every lot has.

Really not sure about driving on that stuff again at a Match tour :?

I'm registered. Still depends on the @#!* parts on the car starting to behave worthy of their price tag. Or that the parts that are " in stock" would be shipped out within a week.

This event is in question now... :(

.. Id rather do these as a Pro Solo for some reason.. Watching the Social Media.. I do agree with one statement.. For Atlanta to pull in 200 plus on any Sunday, its amazing that the don't support their OWN Natz Events... :?

And Ill bet the rule about Ladies Winners not allowed in the Pro Shoot Out is changed... by tomorrow! :lol:

There are 62 people signed up right now. The unofficial word is that if we don't have 110 by Friday, the event will be cancelled. I know there are at least that many that are talking about going.

If you plan on going and haven't signed up, sign up by Friday.
If you are thinking about going, go.
If you aren't thinking bout going, think about going.

It is a really short drive and this is a great chance to get a taste of a bigger event and hang out all weekend. I'd love to see some new faces go.
