ok, the way you guys are talking i just might leave the kids at home and pack the bike to get around and really get sme places to get some really killer photos. if not just going bring the older boy if nothing else since the younger one can get annoying at times..... but i will have to get to subway this next week and buy lunch anyway.....
I think you'll really enjoy it. One great thing about the Runoffs (as Joe alluded to) is the crowd. About half of them are SCCA members (at times, half of those seem to be drivers from the SCCA Regional program), and have seen a lot of road racing. I still recall one year here in Atlanta when the Starter gave the green to a pretty ragged pack, and the crowd up in the grandstands at 11 actually broke out in boos & hisses.

Werd.
You won't find a more knowledgeable support group/crowd than those at the RunOffs.
We're talking about amateur road racing, for crying out loud. No one goes to SCCA National/Regionals unless they are hard-care fans or racers who can't be on track. It's a family-thing - even if the DNA doesn't much match.
well, then i guess i know what i am doing on the 26th then.......and if anyone is going to be there on sunday with a car, let me know what you drive and i will try to stop by and say hello and click a photo....
i found myself last night switching days i am heading up to the runoffs, who who again is going to be there on sat?
Andy Reid and Joe Gearin will be there. Stop in and get yourself a GRM sticker!
Don't mean to hijack, but our forum's own Don49 (#47 F Production) is 23rd on the grid at the moment with a high 2:56:5. Jon Brakke and Greg Ira are cutting 2:28s..absolutely insane. Even my old friend Sam Moore is only cutting 2:35s (7th on the grid), but still one spot ahead of reigning Nat'l Champ Sam Halkias.
According to the timing info, Jon spent 14min to get his 2:28, but Greg took 17min to get within .26 thousandths. Yeah, it's early days, but I smell an Epic battle cooking here..

Dang..my mistake, KJ. I meant to say E Prod..sometimes, beer and keyboards don't mix very well. Don & all my old SCCA buddies I was talking about run E Prod. Got the links right, but the post wrong. Can't even blame it on a typo, since the keys are far enough apart. Thanks for the "heads-up", dude.
