I just need a link for registering.
When you go to SCCA.com and the event page, there's nothing there to direct you where to register.

I know we had this issue with dixie as well

It isn't 3PM Central yet.

[Teufelshund]

I will call you later tonight Brian and walk you thru what you need to do.

Ok thanks

If you can be at your computer, it's safer to register when it opens. You'll probably be ok until 3:30 central or so, but I like to be safe when it comes to something like this.

Take your time. Match tours don't go fast, usually.

You can take a bit of time these are not like the pro solos on how fast they fill up.

I'm camped out with my finger on the refresh button.

[joker717]

Done, thanks for the quick answers guys, So far I'm the first registered in STS

[ConeEater]

Whew...barely got in... Lol

Sorry.. Didn't realize the "register" button doesn't show up until it's time

I checked and STM is listed as a class for this event. About 25 registered in the first fifteen minutes.

If anyone is interested in going in at the same hotel, looks like the speedway inn is the closest at $50/night. Anyone stayed there before?

[benk]

Theres an econo lodge a bit further up the road in VA, 20% SCCA discount as well.

Comfort Inn Bristol Va...SOLD OUT Took a room at Courtyard Bristol 3169 Linden Drive Bristol, VA .....Has Beer, Mixed Drinks and a Bistro right on site...sweet.

You guys could stay in Kingsport or Johnson City to get more options. It's only an average of 20-25 minutes to BMS which is about the same as some of the Bristol, VA hotels.

I went ahead and registered in STM but was wondering if I change my mind in the future if I could run STX. I'm going to be swimming in the deep end either way but would like to see how I compare to nationally competitive STX cars. So when is the cutoff to change classes?
