Late April or early May through October

8 all together--5 in the summer series (May-August) and 3 in the Fall
Challenge (September-October). Each series has its own points standings.
> What kind of courses are run (technical, open, top speed, etc.)?
Entirely dependent on the course designer (which changes every event).
> What condition is the surface in?
Asphalt that is in great shape but smallish with a dopey rail on one site
(it's real life is the Penn State Bus Testing facility) and new asphalt
with 9 or so light poles in the BIG parking lot next to Beaver Football
Stadium at Penn State.
> How many runs can be had at an event, including extra runs?
Used to be 4 competition runs with 4 noncomps also available. Since the
purchase of the new timer, we've been running 5 runs per heat. You have
to work as many heats as you run, so theoretically, you could get 15 runs
(work set-up and tear down and one of the four heats and run the other
3).
> What's the typical turnout and how long does the event usually take?
Varies. Up to 75 or so on a nice warm day and down to 30 on the chilly,
rainy end-of-season events. Set up starts at 8, driver's meeting at 11,
tear down done by 4:30 (with the new timer).
> What caliber of drivers are at the event, any national winners?
Varies. At one event, we had 3 National champs in CS alone. Other
days...well, let's just say I've been as high as 5th overall.
