Title: Practice or Track day before R.A?
Post by: jstraw on April 10, 2009, 07:12:13 PM
Does anyone know if there is going to be either a Track day or CCS practice the day before things get kicked off at R.A.?  It looks like Nesba has two days after the races but coudn't find anything the day before.  This is the email I received back from  R.A.

There is not a practice day scheduled prior to the start of CCS on May 1.
The track is currently rented to another organization on Thursday, April 30.

We look forward to seeing you at Road America in May.

Nope. Neither a TD or CCS practice. There will be two practice sessions on Friday- but that's it.  I am puzzled, too.  Never been to RA myself, and was hoping to get some practice time in.  I guess I will just keep watching youtube vids and try to cram as much in as I can in the practice sessions....

If you get there Thursday afternoon, you can register, setup camp and be ready for the next day.
At least that's how I did it last year...
This year? I'm planning on the same. Provided reg. is open Thurs. this year???
