DEEP STAGING
Deep staging is permitted, however not advocated. If you plan to deep stage, it is strongly recommended that you boldly display the words DEEP on all four windows, in plain view of the starter. It is always the driver's responsibility to stage the vehicle prior to the tree being activated. In any event, the driver must be prepared to leave as soon as the final stage light is lit.
A competitor with the words DEEP displayed on the window is not necessarily obligated to deep stage. As well, the starter is not necessarily obligated to wait on a driver to deep stage, even if the words DEEP are displayed on the vehicle. All drivers must be prepared to leave as soon as
the final stage light is lit.
Curiosity Staging: Enforced, drivers will allow time for opponent to set pre-stage in a reasonable amount of time. Starter will ultimately determine is driver is acting unsportsmanlike. Drivers, who in the eyes of the starter, purposely set both bulbs will be backed out. Multiply infractions are cause for disqualification.

Any of you S197 Mustang drivers racing in the S197 bracket class? Anybody coming to race in the other classes??

I'll be there, not racing though.

I'll be there also not racing either

FYI: There is a track rental on Friday, $150 per car for anyone interested.

Too steep for me...

Do you guys know where the s197 guys are parking. I saw they had assigned parking on yellow bullet forums, but nothing for the index classes.

No, let me connect up with Chris. I would THINK they'd provide that info at the gate, but we'll see.

More than likely, they will direct you to the parking area once you get inside the gate.

Lots of fast cars at the rental today, even one '11 GT500.

Anyone going to the race at Cecil?

Yep. I'm racing and so far as I know Laura will race this time.

Going to try and get there early this time, so I don't have to park in the weeds.
