Any changes to the show format for this year. I notice its now called a "... reality series". Will you be following individuals/teams more closely throughout the season?

That's the plan Chris.

I'm in for T-hill (if my rims come in time), and Fontana.....Looking forward to being "average" LOL...

Once I check the scheduling with the bosses at home, I'm going to sign up for the Texas event as first timer.

Question! You noted 1/2 price for first timers. How do I note this in my registration for the event?

There is lots to like about the refinements for 2015. I think the most enticing one is that now you can run just one day. for those who were intimidated by the price and the prospect of running the big track, $250 will get you Saturday which is Autocross and Speed Stop. Although I am no stranger to the big track, I have a couple cars I'd like to run at Optima that are not appropriate for the higher speeds of the road course. Now I can play with those as well!

Also [and this is just an opinion] Reality is misspelled. It should be spelled PERFORMANCE. :)

I like the new format also... my Firebird
is just going thru a lot of changes and I
still don't know the car yet.. brakes are ok
for autocross and stop box but not sure they
will work for over a couple of track laps.. I know
the Thunderhill track pretty well but not in
my firebird that needs a little more shaking down

Ahh c'mon Bob, you'll do just fine! And if you don't I'll be there to let you know!:D

Debasher,
I have a few of my Pantera buddies with Hi horsepower
cars that found out what it is like to fade brakes at the
end of a big straight... not for me right now
I also think I need to change the gearing before
I start tracking the car.. thought of bringing the Pantera
for Sunday just for exhibition but too much work to
deal with two cars
