Yeah it'll be pretty fun. I don't like the fact it's kinda like bracket racing, but it should be ok.

Similar to Pinks all out without the arm drop guy and cameras. It will be FUN.
Best reaction time on that light I could manage was a .999. Best of any car there was something like .5xx

Wonder if there will be a test day? Id like to have one even knowing the light won't really be a deciding factor in that race. Consistency is what will win that race. Heard of any test days?

They said they would post on Facebook if there would be any test days, but time is running out. Only T&T left is next Friday, and have not seen anything yet.

Consistency and Reaction time. .5xx to .999 is half second head start.

Has anyone been able to get anymore info for testing? I've called but they act like they don't know what's going on. I'd hate to go & not even qualify.

Have not heard anything, as far as Street Light testing. I'm going Friday to practice on the Pro tree. Should be about the same as the Street light.
You qualify by being in the 32 picked in your class who are the closest group of the qualifying passes. One pass on Thursday and two on Friday.

For those that were not there on July 27 testing, here is the way the light works.

Yellow=Pre stage
Red =Staged
Green = Go!

I'm out to. I'll probably go to MCE track day also. I wanted a shot at that big money. That's why I'm not attending the new race their trying to put in its place.
