    Default 2017 Runoffs!

    With registration opening later on this month, is it safe to ask who will be attending? Do you think we can 25 or more cars?

    I will be there!

    Unless something catastrophic happens, I will be there with the 593 Rakavon. I remember 30+ at Mid Ohio one year. I've gotten slower, but keep trying. I just need more seat time and to shed 55lbs.

    Mitchell Racing may have 4-5 more. I'll let those guys chime in.

    Good Lord willing, I'll be there!

    Looking at SCCA's list of those currently qualified (Before Gingerman) it showed 28 were already qualified.

    Jack Walbran is a definite yes. Russell Strate is a yes, unless business obligations prevent it. Last I heard, Lance Sperling is also a yes.

    26 entered in F500 already! 5 national champions and several other podium finishers. Speaking of podium finishers, Jeff Jorgensen and Steve Jondal are not signed up yet. Hopefully, they will join us. Also great to see the NE guys signed up. Should be a blast!

    The over all number is great! I know a few more 600s are going to register.

    This is awesome! I never thought I'd see an F500 Runoffs race with 35+ cars.

    I wonder what the SCCA will do with our qualifying sessions, since F500 + FF will exceed the track max.

    Take another look at my post. I was replying to Barry's quote about more MC cars yet to register.

    34 registered + "a few more 600s are going to register" = 35+

    Sorry for the complicated math.

    Hey guys lets be positive! We are going to have the biggest F5 class in last few years at an amazing track and maybe the only time some of us get to run there!

    The Major at Road America over the weekend saw some of the best racing this year between 2 and 4 stokes. There was a train at the front with 5 cars on Saturday until I broke then it was down to 4. I did not like watching from the sideline with a broken car but the racing was great! Sunday saw Cal and James have an amazingly race again! I would expect the same at Indy!

    AND WE HAVE HIT 35!!

    Does anyone know what they are going to do with us and the FF? We are currently over track limits as a group.

    My guess is that they will split it up into 2 10 minute groups.

    Has anyone heard how the qualifying sessions will be or not be split up with regards to us running with FF?

    If they charge us the full price I expect to get what I paid for, 18 minute sessions, not 9. Unless they cut the price in half of course.

    Default FF

    Looks like a few FFs have dropped out and we are at 77 cars. Hopefully they well keep us at 18 min. I am sure a few cars per Q will not be make it out for one reason or another.
