I've given thought to doing those instead of actual events.
And actually, Sunday would be a lot better logistically for me. Hmmm

It's not like they're the right size or anything. And I won't have a non-bindy rear bar this weekend.

Do it and make me feel not so out of place.

Yes, and it depends. I got 46 runs in my car at the earlier test-n-tune and 5 runs in other people's cars. It's great for seat time, but don't run on cycled out old tires for all of your runs. You could wear out new tires if it turns out being a really hot day (unlikely this weekend). I'm chasing my set-up a little because I didn't do any test-n-tune runs on my good tires. I'd be there Sunday if I hadn't already signed up for Autocrossers Inc in Waldorf.

Back to JV... do you plan on running any non-ProSolo national events this year? Can you win Hoosiers at events other national events or only ProSolo and Nationals?

Hoosier pays out for Match Tour, ProSolo, Champ Tour and Nats / Pro Finale, assuming 5 in class. That includes bump classes.

I'm planning to do the DC Tour, but that's probably it for Tours. I'm in for the Wilmington Pros (both), the DC Pro and the Toledo Pro. If nobody else signs up in DSP for the tour I may just run in SM.

Is there still room? I just noticed that the Safety Steward school is Sunday - I wonder if I can do both....

edit:
looks like a couple spots left. I sent Garfield a msg about doing both, I'll see what he says.

It's only Wednesday, far too soon to make the call. But yeah, I'll probably be there.
