Running late....
I can understand a few drivers hitting traffic or having engine trouble getting to the track...
BUT REMEMBER...
You can get there at 1:59 PM....I DON'T CARE!!!!! When our tech officials are swamped with cars getting there late and DON'T inspect your car...don't blame us.
When you get there so late that our officials have to leave their posts to do a safety inspection....don't complain when things are missed on-track....
As Phil said, take the time to talk to other drivers, get input and advice...make friends!
Getting to class just before the bell rings isn't going to get you to the top of the class, it's just going to take up your time. (In racing terms: Arriving late to the track may get you on the track for the show, but it isn't going to help you win races.)
NEXT EVENT STARTS AT 1PM!!!!!! Driver's meeting at 12:00, line-ups after that....registration and tech will obviously END before the driver's meeting........don't arrive at 11:49 AM and say you made it on time....Pits open at 8 AM for a reason....
Thanks Tim Pauch, Justen Steigerwalt and Carl Ruppert, Big Daddy and his crew (not this past time), used to be Critter
, Travis Schwenk and Bill Nickerson.....these guys are usually beating us to the track and Erin and I get there at 7:45 AM....Jerry Arms, Phil Levering (dropping off car #1), Jack Zeilsdorf and puppy farts, The Daigneaults and Pete Wharton are also some of the earlier arrivals....which is a BIG help to us!
The reason Tech does not open at 8 AM too is because we have to wait for XX drivers to get there before sending Rick over to the tech area to be by himself all day....
