Actually, Sean & Jeannine Breese are the event chairs. I am just the
lowly Operating Steward. Sean & Jeannine will have to answer your
question for this year's entry. The following is what has been the past
rule. You can run one day if you so desire but you will need to
pre-register and pre-pay for the entire event. No cash/entry will be
handled at the event. Only pre-paid entries will be allowed to register
and be teched and Registration and Tech will be closed by 8:00AM
Saturday morning.
