Meaning he needs to change to 23 and I'll run 123? Or can he stay at 223 and I have the pick of either 23 or 123?

I'll probably just run open STX. I did run Pro at the last event last year in Brian Hatten's miata. Does that mean I have to stick with Pro or can I run open STX since it's a different class?

Tim, it's a new season...you can run open.

One of you HAS TO BE #23, the othe HAS TO BE #123.

I will be making all of the three digit cars that are not two driver change at registration.

That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. I'll clear up the number thing with Mike so it doesn't bog down registration. Thanks, Chris.

However you work it is fine with me? Will you be in town before hand? So you can drive the car to get a feel for it before the event? I will warn you..the brakes arent as strong as should be(still stock) and I have been hard on them...other wise she is ready to go. The brakes arent bad by any means...they just arent excellent. I wouldnt mind at all riding with you. Whatever class I am put in is cool. I am going for the driving experience. and to have fun.

You can be #23 and I'll be #123.

I won't need to drive the car before the event. I'll just start in 1st, put it in 2nd and leave it there.

I'm used to a car with crappy brakes so that's not a problem.

See you Sunday.

Or maybe I just never get going fast enough to need brakes.

Blue painters tape works great as long as your car isn't blue.

If you have some painters tape to bring that would be good. This is generally some at the registration table but with a lot of novices signed up it can't hurt to bring your own.

I just printed out numbers and class letters for us here at work.
