Now I'm asking this because I thought I briefly over heard that as long as I ask for permission from someone it is possible and I wanted to verify that before I go and post on Reno SCCA forum.

Theoretically, everyone you're competing against will need to okay you running out of group... so that's all the CS competitors... plus all the people in Stock-2, since that's your competition group... plus everyone that's running in the overall PAX championship... so it's pretty much "everyone", theoretically speaking, which will be impossible if you're running before them since there will be people that won't know you want to run out of class until they show up at noon after you've already run.
That said, I think the way it *usually* works is you make your intentions known, try to get your immediate competitors to agree, and then run out of group. After the fact, if anyone protests, you'll be converted to RNP for the event... but I've never heard of that happening. Honestly, the only way I'd expect this to be a problem is if you place like top-5 in PAX or something on the day... or if it rains in the afternoon and you got to run in the dry or something. As long as the surface isn't coming up, the afternoons tend to be faster anyway... so running in the AM isn't usually an advantage.
Cory or MattR or someone that's been running in solo more recently than I will likely have better suggestions as to how to go about running out of group.
