Title: Road America practice
Post by: GSXR RACER MIKE on April 09, 2003, 11:36:22 PM
     I am assuming that as long as we are entered in at least one race during the event that we can take advantage of the Friday practice at no extra cost. The practice days that I did at R.A. a few years ago were extra $ to participate in them. I need to sign up for days off work and am wondering if I should take Friday off also to practice, even though I am not running any races on Friday.

I believe that you are correct, sir.  Friday is a race day, so those practices are available to all registered competitors.

You are correct.  However, you need to remember that it's only 1/2 a day, and you'll likely only get out 2, maybe 3 times because of the length of the track and number of people there...

     I am aware of the somewhat small amount of on track time provided at Friday practice at R.A., but I am still getting up to speed after minimal track time over the last few seasons and could use the practice (but don't want to enter any more races). According to the schedule, practice will be from 8am - 2pm with races from 2pm - 5pm. With practice sessions being divided into 6 different groups that would allow three 15 minute sessions per group with 5 minutes between each track session.
     Thanks for the confirmation about practice being included at no extra cost on Friday.
