We also include coolers full of iced water and sodas along with lunch in our entry fee, which adds to the value. Veterans like me usually ride along with others throughout the day... really, that's almost as much fun as driving. It's fun to be able to give someone that one little driving tip they needed to hear and see them drop a second or two on their next run!

Heh, you're right, Ken... I don't notice it so much, I drive pretty smoothly and don't usually feel when the lifted wheel comes down, but my co-driver commented on it. Last weekend, they were calling me "tripod". I need to get some video of the new suspension setup in action and see what that's all about.

agreed, our local club has been able to turn out 4 runs with over 200 cars before. granted, the day had no fubars (like yesterday's event) but from what i've seen it's the noobs who usually screw things up, standing around BSing instead of paying attention to cones down etc. then there's always the one guy in a 'vette who thinks going thru the finishline lights sideways is a good way to end his last run (effectively taking out the lights, costing us half an hour to fix them). the events themselves can be run smoothly as long as every participant goes to the event with the idea in mind that they are not there to just race, but participate in the entire event. i actually worked during all 3 of the run groups i wasn't in.. why the hell not? standing in the sun is standing in the sun, might as well do it with a great view of the action!
