Dales Notes:
The site opens at 4pm, event check-in will begin then, and should be open as late as 5:45 pm. This is EASTERN STANDARD TIME
This is what I can arrange for Late Check-in, without having asked permission yet. I will need a photocopy of each drivers license, with car number and class written on the sheet of paper. With this info, I can check the group in ahead of time, and figure out the work assignments for you. This is of course assuming I'm allowed to do these things.
The first rungroup will drive at 6pm. We are a large region, we run large events, just hosted two SCCA National events on back to back weekends, expect that we will be very efficient and prompt, meaning we will start on time.
I will get as much rungroup info as I can as soon as I can, most likely Friday evening, and make sure everyone knows what time they need to be onsite for their rungroups and work assignment.
If you are a Novice, you must be onsite at 5pm for the Novice class. Miss the class, lose your ride.
If everyone decides it is worth it, meaning they don't cared to be scored in a class appropriate for the car, meaning heads up racing between ourselves, agree ahead of time to enter all cars as class "AM" (A-Modified), and I will arrange to have that class work heat 3 (or worst case heat 2), and drive heat 4. This will allow the most time to get to the track, probably 7:30pm EST.
These are probably the best considerations I can manage with respect to time. All of our processes are hardened, computerized, wireless, and generally advanced, but people are still needed to handle the equipment. Those people are also competitors, and aren't able to wait on us if we aren't where we say we will be.
Note that by 3pm(CST) at Little Talladega, we have always decided to call it a day before somebody falls asleep at the wheel. If the AM classing idea is accepted, I will begin working on it tonight, and a 3pm leave time will get you there in time for even a 2nd heat work assignment.
