Can we be late to M7, or do we have to get there at 8?

My g.f may or may not have to work that day. If she does, it will be at 8:00. M7 is about an hour away from me.....so I will be about 1½ - 2 hours late. Will this cause a problem? Is anyone leaving late....perhaps we could do a "fashionably late" caravan.




Milo.

- Also, will anyone have a battery charager there? My battery is getting low, and it sometimes it dies when I use my HPP..... I'll be using it to do a gear swap and also shift points. Thanks again all!.

If you aren't there on time your spot will be given to the next available Ford or Chrysler waiting outside the gates!

You show up when you show up. It only chews into your free time on the track that's all. If you show up late enough you may be there during the eliminations at which point it may be too late until those are done.

Yep...just show up when you can. No big deal. We DO close the gates at around noon, though.

I'll have my own truck and trailer there. I'm a one man pit crew for now. If anyone breaks down it's $10 a mile, lol! I'm sure we can figure out how to get cars back when they leave a few essential parts behind.

As long as I don't break an axle (yeah right) or the driveshaft I should be okay. But it's good to know that there might be a way to get the car back if it breaks.
