Can anybody tell me how Seat Time works?
I registered and paid a long time ago for the one taking place this Friday. I haven't heard from them since (I'm not complaining). There are so few people signed up, I'm wondering if they will even actually have it -- I would be surprised if they can cover the staff expenses.
Anyway, does anybody know whether there is a driver's meeting, what time it is, what time tech is, whether I have to use their number or I can use my own? Or anything else that might clue me in what to do Friday morning? Thanks, Jamey

The two times I drove in one there was no grid tech, and almost no manning of flag stations. Format was two run groups: racers, and all others. 30 minutes on track, 30 minutes off. Lots of track time!
Just show up at the time they tell you. If there is a brief meeting they will let you know.

The one time I did Seat Time, we only had about 10 cars, so racers and the rest of us were combined. As I recall, we could run about 50 minutes every hour, with a 10 minute break for the corner workers. Ran out of energy before day ended.
Very casual, but at least in my session, all were well behaved. Rob

I forgot to follow up. About 20 drivers showed up for the street car division. They advertise pass anywhere with a point, but when I got there I found out it was just the same passing zones as the blue group. All the usual corner buckets were staffed. We did half-hour on, half-hour off. Total of 6 sessions.
Even with the blue-type passing restrictions, there were so few people it wasn't bad. I had my '79 coupe and I think I'm finally getting the mechanical aspects of that car sorted. Managed to work out some 1:36s, even though my heel-toe is still rusty. The 1:36's start around the 16:00 point in this one. And then at the end, I'm so stoked that I took a victory lap.  The CI was nice about it though.
