WERA @ Grattan Aug. 25-26

Anyone racing? Coming out to watch? I have a solo 20 on Saturday, and 4 sprints on Sunday. Look me up if you make it out!

Re: WERA @ Grattan Aug. 25-26

I was supose to leave this evening to hang out with my buddies and do track day on Friday to race on Sat but can't get my trailer out of my garage, suppose to rain on Friday so not sure doing one 20 solo is worth all that work especially since i'm not sure when I'll be able to get my trailer out of my driveway... If all goes well, I should be there late Friday but who the heck knows... Very fustrating around here

Best of luck to you Nicky66

Hey V. Let me know your status. If you are going to pit with Rob and Jeff, let me know, or if you for some reason end up not making it up. I assume we are pitting in the same spot?

Re: WERA @ Grattan Aug. 25-26

So that would mean you're starting race 15 at 3:00 am Monday morning?

Re: WERA @ Grattan Aug. 25-26

The solos run on Saturday, but are probably the "real" races of the weekend, especially after the 10th lap or so. Lots of people can rip it up for 6 or 8 laps, but pacing yourself to put 20 laps together (especially at Grattan) is no small feat.

Congrats

Couldn't say it better. Seing the white flag is awesome on a solo 20
