Final details, but first an important thought
As we head into the final race of the Crossflow seasons, keep in mind why this series exists and why it succeeds.
We are a band of crazy brothers and sisters who love these little race cars and actually like each other. We are about friendship, great stories, fun, and the occasional beer. We are this above all else. And at a time when members of our community have been evacuated from their homes, some for the second time in less than a year, some have lost homes (Mark Blayze and others), and many need to think about their health in ways that feel tiring and unnatural... this weekend is an escape. It's about putting some fun back into a year that has been difficult for so mamy. So if there was ever a time to put that crazy pass, that red mist, that need to win, aside, just a bit, to keep the real point of this alive and well... its a weekend where the race track, surrounded by smoke and fire as it will be, is a refuge... not a battlefield.

The scales will be in the main garages and will be self serve from about noon on Friday on... weigh your car early, and often. We will staff the scales immediately after qualifying and the race. Do not make us go looking for you to get you to come back and weigh after qualy or a race.
