How long does the event usually last? How many runs do you get? I would definatly be up for this. Hopefully I'll have the car back by the 22nd.

It really depends on the venue.
The "event" lasts pretty much until late afternoon/sometimes dusk, racing typically begins mid/late morning. How many runs you get depends on the venue too. Like the Adventureland event is very popular due to the length/speed of the course and usually you get 2 runs in. Besides all the cars there, the longer course takes people a lot longer to get through it. At the smaller courses, you can often see 3-4. Thats all subject to nobody wiping out (which DOES happen in various levels of severity from time to time.. so be advised!), breaking and whatever else can happen.
Also plan on volunteering when your group isn't running, its just good taste and expecting. Also nice to have someone to talk to at your corner
Bring a good hat heh.

I'm not sure if I'm down with March 22 or not. I got my ass froze off last year doing an early event. Besides being cold the wind was going about 30 mph all day.
We'll see.
I also need to get my MR2 on the dyno and tuned as I put a MegaSquirt on it this year.
