We run things fine at rallyxes with 25-30 people. We can run this autox like a rallyx - minimal cones marking the course, 4-5 worker stations, work twice, break for lunch and still get 8 runs each.

If it won't work financially with that many, then nevermind.

i might actually come out if ya'll can commit to this game plan.

cones suck.

Then per-register so we can up the count a bit more.

if ya'll are counting on me as the swing vote deciding factor you have lost the race. i am fair weather at best. literally. 68F and clear on November 13th? unlikely. :wink:

so right now we're only at 25 drivers for Sunday and that's not going to work. We're going to make a go/no-go decision tomorrow around 5p.

Actually, I know 2 guys who are planning to come who aren't pre-registered. :oops:

And I know 8 or 9 guys that aren't pre-registered but are planning to come, also.

j/k

(Really hoping we get enough pre-registered to pull this off.)

Wish you did.

But, in my case, I have two co-drivers that are slackers and rarely remember to pre-register. :wink:

Plus, we usually have until Thursday to register, and Rodney mentioned making an early decision on cancelling today.

FYI, our break even point is 40.2 drivers assuming we are still getting charged what I think we should be charged for site rental at Lburg.

Remchak can count for the 0.2 'drivers'.

That's giving Steve WAYYYY too much credit.

That is almost precisely the current forecast for Sunday. Sign up folks!

I also hate extra cones. So there will be no extra cones on this course. Rallyx style. Let's do this!

I see we're up to 35 entrants - cool! (Didn't someone say we needed 35 - 40 to make this work?) Can't wait to see some of the FMod cars run.

Hmmm....Scooby couldn't make it on Sunday or will the insurance not cover cartoon dogs? I might sign up and bring my kids to meet Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma!

Props for even getting the last names right :thumbsup:

seriously?

LAD 1 (FM) Daphne Blake Multicolor 1968 Chevy Sportvan 108 Other
FM 1 Fred Jones Blue & Green 1968 Chevrolet SportVan Other
LAD 2 (FM) Velma Dinkley Retro 1968 Chevy Van Other
FM 2 Shaggy Rogers Colorful 1968 Chevrolet Snackmobile Other
OF 11 (FM) George Jetson Red 1962 Terrafugia Transition Other
LAD 11 (FM) Jane Jetson Red 1962 Terrafugia Transition Other
X 17 (FM) Rosey Robot Green 1962 Moller M200G Other

If we're just adding crap to bring the numbers up, this isn't working for me, so I'm discounting this bogus entries and we're back to 29 drivers.

I don't see this Sunday happening base on what we need to payout and money coming in. I also don't like seeing this junk added in the prereg. If you added it, please remove...now...

Pretty sure Rosey Robot and Shaggy Rogers are Gwen's co-drivers that she was mentioning

Bummer, I was really wanting to come play. We can't give it one more day? If this gets canceled I'm going to be forced to go new car shopping. Oh wait......

Can you say win-win? Sort of in the same boat, turning 33 Sunday so I either get to go racing or be lazy and do whatever I want. :twisted:
