3 President s C orner It looks like we will once again have typical beautiful Florida weather this weekend. Hope you come out and join us. I must admit, I m very excited by our recent attendance trend. We have been at 100 drivers for the past two months in a row, and last month, we had regular drivers who were not there. As you all know, the magic number has been 400 total runs. Last month we did 5 runs, with nearly 100 drivers, and we still finished at a reasonable time. I will continue to monitor the number of drivers at each event and determine the appropriate number of runs. It is my wish to keep that number as high as possible. Saturday reminder. The new format we are using for the first work session after lunch is to have the novice school attendees work the course. This means that experienced drivers need to monitor their token level accordingly. If you have no tokens left going into lunch, you won t be able to drive immediately after. Last month, we opened the track up for that 20 minute session, but I don t suspect that will be a common occurrence. Craig
