Seems like a decent marketing move on SVRA's part to attempt to get some=20

them, last year I think there were three Triumph entries at this event!=C2=

I wonder if the gesture will result in boosting the entries of our cars=20
at other SVRA races, obviously that is what they are hoping for.

I must say it would be hard to pass up a free entry to this event, the=20
Friday afternoon activities downtown are certainly fun and different.=20
For many that compensates for the limited track time we used to get with=20
the old SVRA. I can't speak firsthand on how long the sessions are these=20
days, but less entries usually means more track time!

I do wonder what SVRA's criteria for the invite is, I ran that same race=20
in 2008 that Mike H did, plus LOTS before that dating back to 2000, but=20
no invite for me. I am running a different car now, perhaps that has=20
something to do with it. Or maybe they remember me and just don't want=20
me! I'm thinking it's the latter... ;-)

But to answer Mike's question, as long as the VRG schedule continues to=20
have PittRace in September (on this same weekend) and Watkins in=20
October, that's where I will be. I enjoy the track time a lot more than=20
the festival stuff, and getting to run both tracks in the fall is worth=20
it to me to pass up a free entry.

I can make money, but I can't make time.
