This will be my first event. Can anyone give me a guestimate as to how long it will last. Looking at the times last month I see well over 100 entrants getting 6 runs each... seems like at least 600 minutes there (10 hours). Is that right?
Thanks

Re: NEWB question about this weekend
We have multiple cars on course, started 20ish seconds apart. So, there is quite a bit of overlap. You should plan to be there most of the day though. I would recommend arriving no later than 9am so you can get your car tech'ed, register, and walk the course several times. We usually finish up around 4 or 5, depending on various factors.

We can't always do this, but ideally we send a car every 20-25 seconds maybe. With worker changes and delays and all, I'd guess 6 or 7 hours, not counting the time you put in before the event.Stingon wrote:This will be my first event.

Re: NEWB question about this weekend
Glad to have you coming out for your first event. Registration check in starts at 8am. I recommend giving yourself extra time since it's your first time. Getting numbers on car and tech then taking opportunity to do the novice walk with our novice instructor. He will give great instruction and many pointers to help you out on course. Good luck and welcome.

Welcome. If you have questions at the event, asking someone wearing an ETR SCCA t-shirt should get you a quick answer. Most importantly, have fun!
