67 of 80 or 90 slots filled. Too bad they didn't include a ClubRally or two. Can we say disappointing entry?
The low car count will make the event easier to manage, so this is a small blessing.
Lauchlin's start position must be a mistake, 9th on the road. Do 2003 finishes not count? The speed factors are not listed but there must be a mistake or the factors need to take into account improvement in skill level more quickly/accurately.
Will Jonny Milner really run Group N? That was his original intent, ran open because the N car was not ready and then I thought he changed his mind and decided to run Open. Maybe changed his mind again.
Brian Hourt returns to the fray, Seed 2 starting 31st, he regularly finished in the top 10. Even with the new field of supercars, he'll move up the list as the day goes on, top 20 without trying and top 15 with attrition. I'd go for top 10 finish but seat time makes a difference and its been a while.
The sport has evolved quickly: Gail Truess is entered (Girls Kick But!), 47th on the road! She lead Sno*Drift just 5-6 years ago. I'll expect her to finish higher in the order.
The Stud Bug is on the list!
Any other observations?
