Just wanted to stir the pot and see if we are going to have any more participants at the Run Offs. I went quite regularly as a driver, my first one was at the final year at Road Atlanta. I did several at Mid Ohio before it become to difficult for me as a prep shop to drive myself but supported a few efforts before a long absence. 2023 was my first year back running SCCA in a very long time and we went to the show with one car and a very quick William Ferguson. We were right there but as things sometimes go, it went sideways on the final lap. However, what it did do was renew my enthusiasm for the Run Offs and the perhaps "over the top week or so" event which we thoroughly enjoyed. I saw friends from years past, and made new friends as well. This year we set out with the hope to go back and bring more drivers along. We compete here in Ontario in the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship but we made a big effort to get our drivers qualified for the Road America Fall event. To that end we are going with 4 drivers and are very excited to enjoy everything the Run Offs is about. It is to me, more of an event than just a race, there is so much to do during the week including watching the best amateur drivers in so many different classes of race cars. Each and every race group is fantastic to watch and every driver has a story of why they are there. I am surprised to see the entry stalled out at 14 cars, I hope we will grab at least a few more in the next several weeks. If you are on the fence, jump on the side of going, it is a great time. If you go go, we are going to be in the upper paddock, UP17, come by and say hi, we may have some adult beverages on hand.
Cheers and see you at RA!
Brian.
