You show every sign of being a Virginia Tech grad. Since the beginning of time, ChampCar has made event supplementals that list the event schedule. https://champcar.org/register/supplementalrules/368.pdf Page 2 of 8...

Flags - https://champcar.org/mainweb/pdf/Flags-2019.pdf They should read the rules. there are a lot of things in there that all racers need to know. Not just car building. https://champcar.org/mainweb/pdf/2019ChampCarBCCR.pdf

Despite what mike or anyone else said prior to yesterday, the rule book is in play and is the official word. All fuel components must be separated from the passenger compartment by a firewall. The fuel filler. no matter the material, must be separated by a metal firewall.

seriously. we told people where to put the decals the past year. we even made it easy making the sponsor decals one big decal. But we still found them cutting them out and sticking them everywhere except within the spot the instructions said. I even had people come up to me and say that tech told them they could put them anywhere. well... no more. When the sponsors come up to me on Tuesday after the race and say, hey, I saw all your pictures and video, I love the spot they had my decals... I can feel good that I am not getting yelled at like last year when they find out that half the field did not display the decals properly or did not have them on the car. I love those emails.. Hey Bill, dod you have pictures from last weeks event of cars on the track I can use for social media? I go to get them and everyone one of them is missing a decal, even the cars that I KNOW I handed them one to put on the car. That's why. And NASCAR is pretty strict. Teams have to get their themes approved before they are printed on the wrap. And they have a very specific location for every since required decal.

I know there are arrive and drive teams that would love to come out and race if they had people asking. i know there are a lot of guys that would love to race, but just don't have the cars. https://champcar.org/mainweb/arrive-and-drive-teams/

and remember. If it is not like I laid out in the rules. You don't get to leave pit lane. there is no more creativity on decals. You know. Rules and all. with pictures.

Go to Mikes house next week and pick it up. He has 1000 of them. call first.

All the information you need for the event is located in the event supps. The link is on the event calendar, and above in the first post. https://champcar.org/register/supplementalrules/380.pdf

We have 85 cars for Road Atlanta. 22 for the tiny VIR south track. 20 for Sonoma. We are doing this race no matter how many show. I purchased my plane ticket and rental car. I am coming to this race. I am visiting my family in Vallejo. How can we increase the numbers here?

Supps to Charlotte are updated with new logos and more correct info as needed.. sonoma was all screwed up. but fixed now. others will be finished over the next few days.

Thank you. still, a few things to do. and finish 5 more races. Just got the track config for willow springs today from Dana, so will be putting that track on. Most likely the "Premier" events will look like the Indy version, or different. we will see what I can come up with.

Not one MR2. But you got me thinking
