With the initial registration period rapidly coming to a close (tomorrow 8/19),
who all here will be going to Topeka to kick my butt in B Stock? The correct
answer is "everybody" , but I was looking more for an actual headcount...

RX-8 drivers in other classes are welcome to pipe up, it will be interesting
to see how the car will do somewhere besides stock.

Let the smack talk begin? :D

RX8 #166 in BS... co-driver is #66.

Not there for the ProSolo Finale as work prevents that from happening this year.

Last I saw the entry list, there were 39 entries with about half of them being RX-8s (although I've heard that one of them may be unable to attend). Maybe half of the RX-8 drivers post here or are their codrivers.

No to hijack the thread, is BS running on Thur, 9/15, and BSL on Fri, 9/16? I envy those of you who are fast enough to run at the National. Hopefully, RX-8 will still be competitive enough (hint hint: Corvette/S2K-like dynasty) by the time I get my skill up to National-level =)

BS and BSL are running both Thursday and Friday.

1/2 the classes at nationals run Tues/Wed and the other half Thurs/Fri. (usually alternating years as to which part of the week a class runs)

There's always someone running either north or south courses during the 4 days of Nationals.

In other words... nationals is 2 courses. National office decides which class(es) runs the South course or North course on day one, and then the class runs the other course on day two. The cumulative time from both days on both courses is the final time.

You dont have to be fast to go to natls. If that was the case the 968 would only have one driver. :p

That and the #99 / #199 car wouldn't even bother coming!

It's not rumor -- check out the entry lists on SCCA.com. Sam's still signed up for the Pro Finale, where I'd say he's the favorite, but he's running FS for Nationals.

As of when I wrote that... it still had Sam in BS for Nats. It's been switched to FS since.
