Roll Call!!! Race weekend #4! The Loudon Classic!!!

[Jank]

OK Peeps this is it, the BIG National weekend.
First, racers, post up what races you will be running this weekend.
Then we'll need to find crew to help out.
As of now I know we need help on Friday for the team challenge.

Since I am on vacation, I'll be kicking around all weekend if needed.

Sorry, everyone. Looks like I'll be OUT of this one too...

[beet]

I'll be there dude. Got Friday off. Friggin' weather better cooperate. Looks dubious now but either way, I'm there.

[DaSarge]

Man do I even have to post.....you know i'll be there either thursday after school, or i might not going to school friday and coming up untill sunday. I'll edit this when I know on wedsday.

[snaggle]

I'll be there on saturday

[Collision pro]

I should be there thursday. I want to do the practice and as many races as I can.

[scootertrash]

I can be there Friday if needed.

I haven't done an endurance race yet, so I'll throw out the newbie questions...

- If we are racing only one bike, I assume we are setting up just a pop-up over by pit lane. How many pit dudes do we need, without creating chaos? Guess that's the call of the Crew Chief.

- Any need for a pit box or any other special tools?

- I assume we need to deal with refueling...do we use any special fuel can?

[Degsy]

We will set up a small ez-up on pit row. No box stand is required for this. I would say no that we need 4 pit crew. One person is needed to do fire duty. They need to hold a fire extinguisher while we fuel up. The fire duty person also MUST wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt for obvious reasons.

G-Man, please bring your laptop for networking into the NHIS computer for live scoring.

We also need someone on the wall with a pitboard. Do we still have the one from last year?

[Jank]

Also, Degs, doesn't everyone in the hot pits have to wear long sleeves? Last year we did.

[Degsy]

Yes, I believe that is the rule.

Well I just got the green light if I want to come up for Friday and Saturday. But since Friday looks to be a wash out maybe if the weather looks good I will come up Saturday AM.
Does anyone know what "practices" I could on Saturday?
