A few thoughts on the mile run:
How bout getting a couple of camera savvy Airmen stationed near the finish line - one with a still camera and the other shooting video. Compile all the pics and video on a DVD and then make it available in the ZR-1 net store for like $20 or so - profits would go to the Airmens fund, charity, or whatever they like. Win win for everyone involved
Lets do some entry forms that list the driver, car, car #, mods, etc so we can publish some results of who did what with what.
Safety: I think we had a pretty good program last year: Helmets, check bearings and lugs, tire condition and pressure. I'm not in favor of doing a Pony Express style deal involving roll bars and harnesses etc based on speed classes. Let face facts, even a stock Z can see 150ish in a mile and there really isn't much difference between a 150mph crash and a 180mph crash - neither is going to be pretty. Also if we start requiring race car stuff we are going to chase a lot of people off. One big thing I'd suggest is marking the finish line better, last year it was pretty hard to spot at over 170mph.
Man this event is sneaking up on me quickly, got to get cracking on the latest Q branch mods.
