Do Novice Drivers factor into the total (time average / pax / whatever ) for the North vs South challenge?

Will there even be a novice class at Hawthorne? If so, then that'd be interesting to find out.

Oh so RNP is an option If i can drive in STU and then switch back to Novice for following events in stead , I'de like to do that. If most or some of the Reno guys are really searious about trying to win , I'll just go RNP as to not mess up the average times.

If your first choice is novice, then I would run RNP. But feel free to run for points if you want man, you're not going to cost us victory all by yourself. But heck, you might as well run STU from here on out. I think any of you guys running novice this year that have decided you're going to make most or all of the remaining events might as well go for points and get experience in your class.

If you're going to Hawthorne, run in a points class. It's chickenlshit to inflate our average by insulating our novices in no-points classes. IMO, anyone that goes should run for points. If you look at the results from the last few years, it's been our new drivers that have made the difference in the challenge, since our noobs tend to be faster than there noobs.

You don't have to pay till the weekend of the race. But you should still register and reserve your hotel room asap.

I found this post rather interesting. It would seem that they are using me as an example. Only I think they got the event number wrong. ""Looking at their results, I already know the answer to this one. Those on street tires are grouped with their normal class and then the multiplier is used to place them within that class. A T is simply placed in front of the class. In their round #1, the AS winner was on street tires(TAS). His raw time was slower, but after the multiplier he had the class win. If I had my usual street tires, I would consider running them, but unfortunatly one of my 315's was sliced and that tire has been on back order for 4 months. I'm forced to run my usuall front tires on the rear (275's), and some junk that I had lying around (255's) on the front untill BFG makes some more of the G-Force KD's in 315. On top of it being terrible for grip, since I converted the car to Grand Sport specs, and it's a Z-51 car, tires that small aren't legal in stock class because I can't stretch them onto an 11" rim. I'm going to try to get some 315's so Vicki can run street tire up there.""

I love how they attribute the street tire class wins to the tires, and not the drivers. I would heartily encourage all the LVR drivers who normally run Hoosiers or Kumhos to hop onto their street tires for the first time at this event, especially since most of them don't have top-notch street tires.

maybe I should post a paypal link so that you guys can make a tire fund donation. I could probably come up with a 501.c3 tax exempt number so that you guys can take a tax deduction from the donation.

Let's form a tax exempt Church dedicated to tires. maybe we could all just divert our income into there and avoid paying taxes. I can't see that going bad or anything....
