Snowy.

Any experience with the la quinta hotels in the area?

They seem to have decent ratings and are ~$80 for 2 beds.

Agree on both points

. 4 quals gets too long unless the breaks between are super short.

Just want to double check on the Trans am class, the motor should be a 25.5 not the 21.5 or 25.5 listed on the web site, or is it being treated different than the vintage rules?

Don't use the rules on the website. Follow the rules on USVTA's site.

Hey all I've got a 25.5 coming, but it is onbackorder. Hoping will have it soon. In the end I will have a back up motor for the LM1. I actually am hoping I am faster with the 25.5. I assume it has more torque which would help move the brick I'm am driiving through the infield

Is there a cheat sheet for who is who on here, being the new guy I ain't got a clue lol.

I think you got me pegged right and thanks. Should be fully correct next time out in 2 weeks when a lot are south of the border.
