How about if we all use this one thread for the event itself, okay? We've had the "What cars are going" thread and the "weather" thread -- now let's have one that we use for updates and photos and comments and stuff like that. I'll make it a sticky topic so it shows up at the top of the list so everyone can find it easily.
To begin, then -- tomorrow morning at 7 the gates officially open to allow racers to enter and set up the pits. Inspection will start as soon as we can get it going -- by ten for sure, maybe by nine, maybe even earlier if there are enough inspectors and enough vehicles to look at that early. There'll be no racing tomorrow (Wednesday) -- but Thursday morning there'll be the drivers meeting followed by racing as soon as we can get things going. It gets dark earlier now than it did at WoS and much earlier than SpeedWeek -- so expect things to wind down by 6.30 in the evening, maybe not even that late. And return runs will not be at 7AM -- not unless you've got really good headlights on your race vehicle.
Racing will go through Sunday, unless there are so few vehicles left running that it is decided to quit early -- and that'll happen only after everyone has had the opportunity to make his needs to keep running known.
Oh -- there'll be a food vendor on the Salt, but -- Red Flame will be there starting Wednesday (tomorrow) noon or so, through Friday afternoon -- only. They've got a weekend commitment that precludes them from staying later than Friday. But SCTA/BNI has attempted to get someone else to be there to cook and sell food for Saturday and Sunday, so there'll be food available all during this meet.
That's enough for now. Quite a few vehicles are already in town for the event -- so we hope to see you on the Salt.
