I'm in charge of the auto x now actually. I don't know of any preset courses that people like and I would ask participants to help to design their own with me.
It would take a single person an hour to set up cones into an ok 40sec run, with 5 people helping maby 10 min.

If anyone here can give me any imput or advice I would appericate it. If any of you would like to help setup the course you could stay and run a little bit longer after everyone leaves untill I roll out.


*Oh, we have Geico for our cars and Rider for the bikes. Covers anything BUT timed events.

Correct, it is JUST me there. I have run it where if you plow cones you go and reset them and nobody has complained about it in the past 3 events. Just don't murder 14 cones every run you do. I have also been logging peoples times on my laptop after each run so people can see their consistency against their buddies.

Thats nice video/sound quality. Was up at north park today watching Jeremy own as usual. Hopefully I'll be able to get out there by that big charity event...just gotta figure out what class i'm in now. Probably street mod, which means I'll be lucky if i'm in the top 10.

FYI, flat out days use to be called flat out Fridays. They almost never had flat out days on the weekends but over the past few years BR has been in tough $ times snd their schedule isn't always full like it use to be.

I will be at the TT on may 15. I'm not a big fan of running parade laps during flat out days because the corvettes and porsches can't possibly think that a four door sedan in smoking them in the corners. Lol. The TT have had very low numbers so it's basically like a private rental day out there. The first one I they had I was the only one on track.

Friday just seems odd since the idea (in my mind) of the flat out days is to get people to enjoy their cars on the track that possibly don't have much if any track time. So to do that on a weekday/workday seems really odd if they want people to show up.

Oh I agree with you. They never really had any huge problem getting people to show up on weekdays tho. Well group 3 is always on the light side usually.
