Three new items from Bob Gillespie, all welcome news imho.

First: Both the 50 and 100 mile competitions will start at the same time, with the 50-mile drivers simply stopping when they've completed their distance. There will be an interval delay between individual cars' actual start, similar to last year.

The start time will likely be later than originally scheduled, likely now at 9:30. The revised schedule is not yet fully finalized, to the best of my knowledge. The later start gives more time for vehicle inspections.

I also had asked Bob:
1) Can we store things at the track? Such as travel necessities, tools removed from car, etc. Answer: yes.

2) Would I be able to do an oil change before the competition? Answer: yes, before the car is weighed.
