I suspect I'm with you Jeff. I've been lurking on this discussion since I'm
on the west coast, but I don't go to events like this to race. It's the same
with the Monterey Historics. The fun is the entire experience. If I want
track time I can get together with folks who run the PIR school and rent
track time for about $250 per day. All day. Wear yourself out.
I can't wait to finish my airstream monster Peyote Hauler and make all those
other events. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

Another group that took track time from us was the pre-war cars. SVRA had
extended an offer to the VSCCA and allowed their cars in even though they
did not comply with the SVRA safety requirements. HSR did the same thing at
their June event at the Glen. More cars equals more money! I heard that
this event made up in revenues for SVRA what they had lost in the previous
events this year. Oh well, we can vote with our pocket books and decide not
to attend next year if disatisfied. I for one plan on going back next year!
It's one of those "big" events like the BRIC and I don't expect as much
track time. But you still have the fun of the downtown event, seeing lots
of neat cars, hanging out at the Seneca Lodge bar, and best of all, seeing
all my TR buddies at the now "infamous" Beady Eye Racing wine and cheese
parties!
Vroom, vroom,

> Perhaps next year not being an M.G. anniversary entry levels will
fall to a more managable 400 or so. Although after the big Collier Cup
events entry for group one dropped from 84 to 32, would have liked afew of
those MGA's to out brake and slide past.
