you bet, the entry fee included thursday practice this year and thus was $295.
I understand that thursday will be optional again next year.>

gee, if you had asked me yesterday, I could have told you. I had the sheets
here at work. The car is white, with rounded and slightly upswept tail. I
believe it has a blue stripe. It has a real short wheelbase. It is the same
or similar to one I see regularly at Road America which I believe is Saab
powered. There is a Jabro with VW power which runs in VSCDA and is somewhat
ratty. last fall the owner said that he was going back to the original
powerplant which in his case was evinrude outboard.
BTW, there was a Ginetta G15 (998) in my group. Green with yellow stripes and
yellow ginetta 4 spoke wheels. a real pretty car, but nowhere near as fast
as morrison's or the driver was not. A huge amount of chassis flex. As I
was catching up to pass in practice, I noticed that heading into the carousel
(a very tight right hand turn), the G15 lifted its right front wheel about a
foot off the ground.
good luck with the peerless and other cars...
