Yeah, I chose 11 with NESBA. They started the restriction on 2-digit numbers a year or two later to reduce repeated numbers on the track.

The last CR position I knew NESBA had open went to John, don't know if they'll make any additions this year. If they asked me, I would definitely consider it, but with house purchase next month and the new little one running around I don't know how many days I'll squeeze in this year.

But dude...free track time...and the tires!!!

It's just fuel man!

BTW...Jim didn't realize the deal with tires and would run something he could get cheap...and no one told him for like 7 track days. When he found out, he was SOOO pissed

NESBA. Not anything you want, but a specific DOT Race tire from a sponsor. I think last year was Dunlop.

No....just a decent deal

Dunlop DOTs? What else could you want? (ok, N-Tec slicks, but...)

That is a hell of an incentive!

True, but so few of the CR's get in many A group sessions... and I know when I'm at the track I want to get as many in as possible. Pros and cons...

I remember that about Jim, rolling around out there all day on shagged tires.

Control Rider. Guys making sure you're not a douche on the track, and giving pointers to those that need/want it.
