My suggestions (minor org and communication)
1- Clearly set up, defined, and accessible parking sreas for Trailers at both the hotel and track. At track -please keep in mind travel distance for accompanied pit guests to stands and cars being towed to lanes (was decent this year). 2- Post a copy of the Qualifying and Eliminations Ladder at the C5 tent, as done at my other typical events. Thanks for your consideration. Last edited by HRD_WRK; 08-05-2013 at 07:33 PM. |

When you don't drive your car and bring 6 people to the line with you, yeah, that's a shop car. When you pay a shop to pit your car all wknd, shop car. You were running around shutting your own hood before your burnout. This class was butchered. The lmr car had the battery just sitting on the passenger floor holding a cable running under the hood with alligator clips. Tech? What's that? I'm glad my car broke. You guys were screwed over.

I made it to the semi finals in the unlimited class, but had to forfeit because my clutch pedal lost all pressure as I was slowing down from my last run. Had to forfeit.
