Jack,

sessions on the weekend days.>>
There are only so many time slots on Sat & Sun. Once they are filled, we work
back from there. We will try to rotate the affected groups. Remember, at the
big events the track people control the prime time running order on the
weekend days, and they also use a lot of track time for car club deals.
WGI/Zippo uses 1.5 hrs on Sunday for lunch.

This concept will be developed as soon as we can work out the details. Both
the HSR and SVRA schedules are firm for the remainder of this year.
<<Unrelated question: can you tell us anything about plans for the Glen this
year? I.E. anything changing to avoid the problems of '99? Will SVRA be
able to function as Race Control this year? Is WGI still going to insist on
red flagging/black flagging whenever one car goes in the gravel?

This is a high priority to resolve. Carl has had numerous meetings with WGI
officials, and I think things look pretty good. No promises though, except I
think our plan may be to screen problem drivers very carefully, and expect
everyone to stay on the track. Some folks could be on their way home early if
they don't have a good reason for getting into the gravel traps.
