With the weather forecast for Sunday what are the plan?

Personally I wanted to do only the point event. If you decide to change the point event to Saturday that will be ok for me.

Hmmm, not sure that all seasons would work that well with ice pellets...

If there is an event I will be there, but I REALLY hope we won't try to run the event in the conditions that are now being forecast. At a minimum, I would be miserable out in the cold all day.

Thoughts from management???

We won't try and run if there's ice or snow on the pavement, I can't make any promises about cold rain though. I'm sure one of the Autocross VPs will be along shortly.

There's also a strong possibility the forecast could change at this point, but at least Saturday is looking decent.

We are discussing this now as I don't think anyone wants to be showered with ice pellets. Right now we are leaning toward Event Saturday

What time does the Test & Tune start on Saturday? Is there a schedule or itinerary of any sort?
I've never been before and planning to go. Finally got my car off jack stands. It needs some exercise.

I suspect we'll be using the same event schedule for both days, that is, if Sunday happens.

And for events the earlier you get there the better so you can walk the course and not have to rush. The more walks the better. Gates open at 7:30

Also, get your car ready for tech as early as possible so us tech inspectors can at least get one course walk in :)

Due to inclement weather we are moving the Points Event to Saturday March 11 and cancelling the TestnTune. Normal event times will apply. Please look for an email from Motorsportsreg.

I just looked at the results and realized my fastest run was post fixing the power steering explosion, I thought for sure I didn't really have my head in the game on that one.
