When I went to the birds a few years ago I didn't even realize that I was running backwards untill someone brought it to my attention. This shouldn't be an issue here either. Besides, it's a roadcourse, you're turning right and left anyway, so it's no big deal.

I'm excited to see what you have planned buddy.

Like it makes a difference whether or not you supported this race to begin with?!?! So now that you support this race everyone else should? Talk about self-centered.

Oops, slight error on my part with the schedule on my original post. Forgot the potential Wednesday practice based on the possibility of high turnout. It's been corrected.

There will be a control tire for rubber TC. The brand and compound aren't set in stone yet, but will be in the not to distant future.

Max: Thanks. I really want to take this thing by the bootstraps and make it impressive again.

Walt and Chuck: Yeah, I'll probably harrass you guys at one point or another about this thing.

Ian, glad to see you and your dad are stepping up.

What are you guys going to do about the sub floor and the off road jumps we have expierienced in the past?
