Maybe a little give on time to get to impound should be addressed???

You know, now that I think about it, I don't remember being checked  
for the time when entering impound.  It's usually just a smile and a  
wave in.  One of the tech guys is happy to take my time slip and  
initiate the paperwork -- but I'd think the person at the impound  
entrance would be the person to note the time of arrival.

As for the course layout -- which comments I deleted (above) -- I  
wondered about the location of the timing slip stand on that course,  
too, and maybe it's not going to be at the 6 1/2 or whatever - it  
might be shown in the wrong spot.  Your comments are valid, Jon,  
about how much of a hassle it'll be for a vehicle that runs to the  
three (and qualifies), but has to go all the way to the 6 1/2 just to  
get the slip, then all the way back.  We'll see, we'll see.

Pits to the 6?  Well, I've heard that since every racer seems to want  
"beach-front seating" -- that the pits will be long and not very  
deep.  The early drawing of the course that I got in mid-June showed  
pits from the 2 to the 4, and now they look to be lots longer.  Again  
-- we'll see when we get there.

Above all, folks, don't worry too much -- no matter what's where,  
there'll be a porta-potty within no more than a mile or two.  Maybe  
even closer...
