Kyle you are scaring everyone away.

Still hoping to scare Drago, collum, Bolanos, and Fowler away...

[AJ Roderick]

Will we be still lining up in the order that we registered or is it back to the old way (first come first served) because we are under the track max now ?

you must start dfl for every on track session

UPDATE FOR THE MID OHIO OVR SCCA MAJORS!!

Attention entrants! There have been two updates to the Supps for the upcoming Majors at Mid-Ohio June 3-5 2016, pertaining to START/FINISH and PACE/SAFETY Car. They are as follows

START/FINISH: All race starts will be at the back straight start stand which is located at station 3. Restarts and the checkered flag will be at the front straight start stand. The timing control line is the line located on the front straight just before the front straight start stand. For all races, timing will start when the front row crosses the front straight timing line. On the first lap, the pace car will pace the field to station 2 and then exit the track surface on drivers left. Be prepared for this to happen. Front row will then pace the field until the green flag is given.

PACE/SAFETY CAR: In addition to GCR 6.6.2, the field shall follow the PACE/SAFETY car as long as its emergency lights are flashing, even if it varies from the normal race course. In the event of full course yellow results in dispatch of the Safety Car, the Safety Car will enter the racing surface at from either station 2 (will be on back straight between station 2 and station 3) or Pit Out (will be just around the corner from station 1).

Have a safe trip to Mid-Ohio and thank you,

Dan Hodge, Chief Steward
Costa Dunias, Race Director
Jude Summers, Race Chairman

Podium potential, WOW, thirteen 99 plus folks (maybe more) and two 1.6er's. < That's 25% of the class entries. To describe the field, full of heavy hitters.

Track is open for SCCA parking starting at 7:00 PM Tuesday night. If you drive fast Dayle, you can be nearly first in line.

We got this straight from Mid-Ohio last week as they have full day test and tunes Weds and Thurs in prep for the event.

In reality, the OVR (and its racers) aren't entitled to anything until 6pm Thursday evening, but due to their good relationship with Mid-Ohio, as long as everyone is being respectful of the Mid-Ohio School events that are going on and don't otherwise be a pain in the ass for any reason, Mid-Ohio will be cool with letting people in whenever. So basically, "don't be that guy who ruins it for everyone else".

This is true, you can load in early but you cannot just park any place. Not in lower paddock in front of garages, there are a few spots saved for the the tire guys. the map in the supps spells out how they would like you to park  and leave a lane. there will be paddock patrol and if you do not park as requested they will make you move.

 

otherwise its open.

[M.Tanz]

[B(Kuch)Kucera45]

You wont want to walk Thursday night or you will get run over Twighlight test day..

Not sure about Friday

[James York]

You wont want to walk Thursday night or you will get run over Twighlight test day..

 

That could make the walk more exciting.....  

[M.Tanz]

Ya. That would make it a lot more fun. Would be right in the middle of the action. Lol. Might learn something.

[Bench Racer]

Walter, great to see you lurking.   Was wondering about you earlier today.

[FTodaro]

OK as i predicted, the paddock parking on pavement was not well organized. People parking every which way. When i went to our last meeting and saw the parking map I knew this would be fun.

 

I arrived Wednesday night about 8pm most of the upper paddock was full the middle paddock had spots if you can park on the side of a hill.

 

I ended up parking in the grass mid way up the hill behind the upper paddock.

 

I will be making some suggestions, and if they listen, we will be going to assigned spots on the pavement, or stricter parking requirements.

 

See you all at the track.

[Ron Alan]

No idea about Daytona but at Laguna in 2014 all spots were assigned

[38bfast]

parking is a zoo. most all of the paved area is taken right now. We ended up scoring garage 15. We had a big thunder storm last night. Hope that get the rain thing out of the way for the weekend. 

[Tom Sager]

Y'all have a great event and may all the cars drive into their trailers Sunday afternoon as shiny as they are today.
