There are some blind spot on both tracks and im worried about no flagstaff. Maybe we can alternate one person working the one flag station every hour or so.

I'm down for both chicanes. never ran that configuration either.

we would need to alternate working/flagging like we do at autox, unless we wanted to pay an extra $1500 for flagers... thats an extra $75 per person @ the 20 people rate. I don't mind working the flag stations, though. everyone I've talked to that has done it before with the SCCA says it gives you a different perspective.

running an "optional" chicane would be funny and a crash waiting to happen. could you imagine having to merge in with people didn't take the chicane and they're doing like 100+mph or running a blend line all the way to turn 4?

we should run a circle 8 track on the skid pad too and have a race between sessions.

Pete, you suck.
Sorry broski! Pick a better date and I might change my mind. Late Feb is just too cold, and the chance of bad weather to high.

I don't know that I wuld call it boring... Turn in wrong at 90mph, run wide, and in the grass you go.

I would like to run the chicane as I haven't done so yet.

we only have a limited window of time. Dec 2011 - March 1st 2012. Feb 26th is the last weekend day in that time frame. Historically February is a crazy weather month. can recall on that date in the last 10 years its been 70* and sunny (ten years ago) or snowing buckets (last year).

Here is a historical snap shot of the last 30 year of winter in Millville.

if you can find a better date within that time frame I'm all for switching.

No you're right... I shouldn't have said that.

Still can't commit though. Maybe I would know better as the date gets closer, but for right now I have to say no.

If we get closer to 30 people the price with flaggers goes down to $183 per person.

This would be a good opportunity to get those autox and drag ***** out there for some track experience.
