[Fot] Classing question for Mosport.

[yellow04 at tr4racer.com]

I reached out to the Race Director, we will not have the benefit of 
timing and scoring on Thursday. I suggest people prepare to have your 
crew put a stopwatch on you during your test day laps, find out where 
your comfort zone is, and on Thursday after the track goes quiet we can 
figure out where you will fit in best.

I will say it again, I think several of us were quite conservative while 
chosing their run group!
