    Are we racing? Are we not?

    One month away. What classes? What’s the purse? Feel like the answers to those questions need figured out pretty quickly if there’s going to be a turn out. Supposedly three day show. Folks need time to plan. Or maybe they don’t care and just want the XR ppv money, idk.

    I’m rooting for it to happen yet I’m being realistic. No guardrails , front stretch seating, catch fence, along with a ton of other stuff that needs done by race day. We’ll see.

      Lights? Or all daylight racing? Bathrooms or port-o-potty? Wi-Fi available in area? If no Wi-Fi it's doomed to failure. Cell service? Where they gonna park stackers?

        They rented lights to put up for night time racing. Infield bathroom. Outside GA will be Porta potty’s. Cell service little sketchy just in that part of town but should be ok. Stackers in infield I reckon, probably only going to get 10 of them anyway.

            Possibly new version of teammates. Two different cars in stacker. Spares off-site in a different trailer?

                Liftgate trailers are not stackers. A stacker has an internal lift that literally stacks one car on top of another.

                  Semantics. The length is the issue.

                    We've been in a drought all summer and nothing was done. Calling for rain for a week now. Won't happen is my prediction.

                      Talk about assymmetrical. I thought Pennsboro was shaped like an egg.

                        That first turn looks really narrow.

                          Bridges will be one-lane-only with these cars. So the funnel effect will help.

                              Saw recommendation on FB to turn the lights at 45* angle to keep lights out of everyone eyes and get better coverage.
