Talk with the organizers. Sometimes you can make a deal with them (like work in the morning).

(As Debbie says below, this only happens occasionally due to extrenuating circumstances)

Basically, I am begging you guys. I need to catch Pat, but I also need to be a 2 ear olds birthday party.

You have to work as well as run, and your scheduled work group would be after you run (I'm in the same boat). OCCASIONALLY "they" have made an exception to this rule and allowed someone to work in an alternate work group - such as working in the morning. More compelling than 'having to go to a birthday party' are things like going to work, having to be at a hospital, you know, survival type things as opposed to alternate entertainment ...

It might go a long ways towards hearing 'yes', if you were to also help with setup on Sat. or Sun a.m., or takedown on Sat. after the event. Just some thoughts...

People have even been known to be allowed to run for oints on th other end of the day with the approval of the competitiors in their calss, and the event organizers.

Again, organizing it beforehand is key, so start emailing, and calling if that is what you want to do.

Well guys, I was posting in here because I know my compitetion is on these forums also. Plus I don't mind working in the morning to make up for my absence in the afternoon.

Oh well, I know I would be racing this weekend for a while, and I just got word last night about the Birthday party. So, oh well. I will show up late to the party.

Yeah, a few A-Stock competitors are here, but the orgainzers aren't really. I think its John Evans for this event. Right?

I think giving him a call or shooting him an e-mail would be your best bet.

Yeah, but the ones that count are here. Pat and Tyson. IDK if Tyson is even doing it anymore.

Yeah, but technically everyone is your competitor because of PAX. Also, it would be the Event Chair's call, not the entrants'.

Seriously. Even if you did convince us, Brian, you'd still need to convince the event chairs.

Or no later than 8:30 to be safe is the short version. :)

And if you go to www.RenoSCCA.com and go to the Solo (Autocross) tab, there are a couple good documents that tell you kind of what to expect.

Its no big deal. I'll run my time slot and work when I am suppost to. I called the sister in law and found out that there really isn't any reason to come at 2pm unless I have my son with me. Since he is with the ex-wife right now, its no big deal for me to be that around 6pm or so.

cody	2006-08-11 12:11 PM

I just found out my car won't be fixed today after all. Bummer.

Kevin M

2006-08-11 12:16 PM

Gee, sounds like you need to get a co-drive in ESP...

cody	2006-08-11 12:18 PM

:P

Alex offered to let me drive his rental N/A Legy on Saturday...
