    Will we have another tuning and practice day in the coming weeks? I think Sundays would probably be best, or after our regular Sat races.

    What is the plan for building/tuning cars for the people going who dont have their cars (or cannot afford one).

    What is our strategy regarding the BRM -vs- Scaleautos.
    — Who is racing BRM only, …Scaleauto only …..Who is racing both (verify data on our forum)
    — Who has a car; who needs to borrow a car?
    — Who needs tires, gears, etc. Can they buy from Marty or should buy from Alan/132slots.
    — Schedule a BRM practice; … a SA practice (on the same day I assume, but can we designate specific times or order?)
    — Weight and body float tuning — need some guidance
    — Sponge Tire truing — need some guidance
    — BRM front tires – should we true them to get them to minimum diameter, or just let the track do the work?
    — Local tech inspection. Confirm that everyone meets the specs before the trip?

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
