Does anyone know if they would accept a walk-up registration on saturday or sunday? I may head that way IF I can get enough rest the previous night and get on the road early enough.

Thanks Paul!

I wasn't sure if that was only for pre-registered competitors or for anyone who wants to register like our region...I still have much to learn.

I actually looked it up - 3.5 to 4 hours (one-way towing) drivetime is too much for me tonight or tomorrow.

Looks like perfect weather. :rockon:

Well.........
I reckon Id have gone to any event just to get time in the new FoST, but Ill just come out and say it... that was one of the worst flowing courses I have EVER driven.
JY, you would have loved the saloms... 48ft I think. 3 pin cones, and every turn except for maybe one..was right at 90 degrees. totally zero flow.
Did I have a good time? meh.. I had fun learning the car, which seems to be very able.
Its amazing how courses like that, kill the corner workers.. Im not sure if that was the worst bunch of drivers as a group, I have ever seen... or the course was just impossible to get around with out hitting cones..
A clean run was KEY!

They were still running when we left! lol

I don't regret going because the weather was great and you just have to take advantage of opportunities, especially with the year winding down, but I'm come to the conclusion that...

...you can expect minimum distance slaloms and pin cones if you run with TRSCCA. It was a challenging course and good practice being patient (which I need), but not one of those wheeee! courses that we all love.

I also tweaked something in my left arm while I was flailing around trying to get around the turnaround W on the second run, so the rest of my runs were pretty uncomfortable.
