Thanks for the explaination. I do want to run CW because I just found a decent amount of time.

ECR CW, falling off the edge the earth at T10, yeah right. Not mention other spots.

MSRH wasn't new the first time the CMRA raced there. there were plenty of patches and bumps. We got through it then and we'll get through this.

I'm not sure how anyone who has never ridden the track CCW would think that they know the track.

I'm not sure I follow your point here.

My 12 year old son went to Barber (a track he has never ridden before) and put it on the box after only 16 laps of practice. (Shameless proud dad comment) Don't sell yourself short Cody.

This past weekend? The Friday before MSRH will be a CMRA practice day.

24 years as a rider and 16 years as an official tells me your wrong but we can agree to disagree. At the end of the day I may be wrong. Thanks for the input Chris.

I probably will. But I also hope the CMRA changes their mind, at least for the first round.

Walter, what's the possibility of BBE at msrh the first round? I'd love that seat time at race pace.

Tough crowd. I don't envy you having to make these decisions. But in the end if I grid up, I gridded up, no one made me race. the only thing kicking my *** is getting from nola to Colorado springs for pikes peak registration which are on the same day.
