If you did not intentionally put blue right in front of students, please swap white and blue so that blue is after students.

I noticed that the MS walkathon will be held at the track on Sunday from 9am till 2pm. Does this effect us at all? Will drivers or crew members need to show any type of race credentials?

I think the drivers meeting should be moved up to something like 8:15. The meeting itself will ordinarily run 20 minutes--time needs to be allocated for the normal topics and new stuff like the mechanics of grid, pit out, pit in and the course layout--passing areas, etc. Drivers in the first session then need time to get to their cars and grid. Since we do not need a sound check at Pocono cars that have not been teched yet can be left lined up while the meeting proceeds and the tech crew can move down the line doing their thing. Drivers of cars that need issues resolved will then have some time to deal with the problem(s).

Good idea Dave. Maybe the club could also look into using Pocono East course pit in, and South course pit out, as an option. That way cars could be gridded for entry onto the track at the South exit for their sessions, without interfering with cars returning to the pits at East entrance, after their run.
