My car can probably get toward the top in STX, and certainly STM. If anyone is interested in driving it, let me know and we'll work something out with tire costs.

After sending out the email blast on Monday night we went from 109 to 121 entries (min is 120 I think). Now is a perfect time to come out and support your club. This National event means a lot to us and we need a total commitment from our members. You might never see a National event so close to home as Bristol. Your support will help us keep this event for next year.....

JY,

If ESP is in a different heat than CAM, Dave could drive my car. It's been modified a bit beyond ESP spec, though. Or, he could co-drive with me in CAM.

Come on STM guys. Even if you only run on Saturday, six runs on a National course for $80 is cheap.

STM is weak and after all the work to get them a pax which isn't as good as most wanted but better than what they have at pelli and on the best lot we have access to and a national designed course that will be nothing like we are used to in ETR. We really need to step up and try to have as many drivers as we can get so that the National office says, Damn that bunch at ETR know how to put on a national event.

Things have slowed down for sure but only 36 of the 124 are ETR members thought we would have at least 60

I was thinking more like 80-85 from ETR as we don't get a lot like this very much and the rough stuff is paved and we will be able to use the entire lot and have a great course.

Well to be fair there's no way an STM car makes the shootout. Which means they get 3/4 of the event, best case scenario.

It's not a national class, so I'm not really sure that STM drivers can really be upset anout that. But, I can totally understand why an STM driver wouldn't bother signing up.
