The Willis Woerheide Wonhundred track event

[Johan]

A competition liscense is issued by SCCA(Sports Car Club of America), HSR (Historic Sportscar Racing), SVRA (Sportscar Vintage Racing Association), NASCAR etc, and their requirements vary, but at a minimum a three day racing school must be completed and they "sign off" on you.
No competition liscense is required for open track sessions, which will make up almost half the event. The typical open track
(street car) schedule begins at 8:00 am with a short drivers meeting during which passing rules, flags, "rules of the road", and driving tips are discussed. This year we are fortunate to have Gene Felton, former IMSA and Trans Am champion, as a participant, and if we can get him out of bed and sobered up, he will help out with some instruction. The first street session will go out on the track in a "lead -follow" group, like ducks in a row driving the racing line going a little faster each lap, so that new comers see where they should be on the track.
After that, you just basically try to either keep up with or pass the car in front of you (Duh).The morning is made up of alternate 1/2 hour sessions between the race group and the street group. Passengers are permitted in both groups, so when you are not driving, you can ride with someone in the other group. Passing is allowed in both groups, but limited to the straight sections in the street group with a "wave by".
Ed and kieth, you will be missed, as I was really hoping you guys could make it. Forget driving and fly to Savannah ?
Jason and Dave, maybe it will just be us from Club Cobra this year
Mike, Ruble,Jerry,Dan, no need to decide now,as I'm going to feel dumb whether I burn up my sod trying to roast a pig all by myself, or have a bunch of people show up and I have no food to offer.Don't feel guilty picturing me sitting out there with 400 lbs. of rotting pork trying to start a fire, tripping over beer cans all by myself. I just hope it does not rai.....no I'm not even going to say it.
