Re: Shindig 2014 Attendance
What kind of time will be spent at the track?
The drag strip has always suffered at Shindig because we've always had it in November and the track was like ice. So, we moved it up a month this year in hopes of having a more successful time at the drag strip. In addition to that, we going to to visit the drag both Friday and Saturday nights. So, if one night has poor weather, the other might not......or we could just do 2 nights of racing. So, depending on weather, we hope to spend a good 4-5 hours at the drags both nights.
And for the autocross, we'll be on course from 9am-2pm, give or a take an hour. Weather is no issue here as we'll run in the rain, which will result in no change in Harmon's times.
Lastly, our local drag is an 1/8 mile that attracts 100 or so people a night when they run. Due to this, there are no guarantees with them. I've tried to get them to commit to our dates, but outside of renting the track (not an option), we're at their mercy. As we get closer, I should be able to get some commitments from them.
And if all else fails, we're about 1:45 from Carolina Dragway in Jackson, SC.....so if everyone would rather visit a 1/4 mile drag (it's a good track), then we could make the trek. It's never been in the cards due to distance, but if 3.5 hrs round trip is worth it to y'all, it's worth it to me.
