Most people are going newbie group because they don't want to get 'smoked' =p

The current plan is to have 2 run groups. One completely beginner, and one intermediate.

I will be moving people up from beginner to intermediate as necessary.

Double Post...

Updated with a date; Ambulance, Fire/Rescue, and Towing will be on standby.

The above statement about roll bars are ONLY for Z Roadsters, as they do not have integrated roll hoops/bars (ala Z4, S2000, Boxter, TT, etc.)

Thank you for the clarification. As far as the tow hitch goes are you talking about the tow hoop that attaches to the front under the bumper.

Any tow hitch/hook will work as long as it allows your car to be towed off the track in case of an accident of catastrophic failure.

If neither of those are available or on your car, you'll need at least a tow point established, so that your car can be moved.

I am interested if it is on the 25th - if it is on the 30th can't make it due to scheduling conflicts! If we could confirm a date as the 25th count me in for sure.

we're getting close to that 20 mark.

At 30, I will be cutting it off, but I will take a wait list for cancellations.

10 ppl per run group leaves a good amount of open space. you would be fine with 2 groups of 15. plus our price would go lower. there is also the ability to run 3 groups. 20 minutes each group. that way nobody gets too tired on a stont and messes up.

Will there be some sort of 15 lap battle at the end? a friendly race of sorts?

I'm still playing around with some ideas...

Possible configurations are 2 groups of 20 min, 2 groups of 30 min, 3 groups of 20 min.

If we do go with the 3 groups, I may open this up to more people.

The **primary** reason I'd like to keep the run groups rather small, is that most attendees will be first timers.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
