• Passing and Blocking: Aggressive blocking is not permitted, but the driver in front has the right to choose his/her line and braking point and drivers behind should respect that line. Be especially careful when you are on older tires than the competition as the speed difference may be significant. These events are "for fun" so just play nice and take a conservative rather than an aggressive approach when possible.

Signing up for reserve. There's a weather system that may or may not impact my chances of racing.

Mike and Frank, I hope you guys accounted the going-into-wintertime this weekend as that makes the race one hour earlier.
This is only one week as next weekend the US'ers switch time and we'll be back at normal Wednesday racing times.

Shawn, given your location and it's frequency of severe storms (or at least threat of them) you should invest in a survival bunker. An underground man cave with a backup generator and a cockpit.

After several years in a row of ice storms that have left them without power for days (in one case two weeks), a few of my sisters in Maine now have backup generators for their homes just in case. They wonder why I moved to California and when I'm moving back. They are afraid of California for the earthquakes, but now they got their own quake last week. I'm sticking to my left coast residence. I only have to worry about deadly shark attacks and now that my hobby puts me in a cockpit (GT5) instead of the ocean (windsurfing) it's not so much of a concern.

PS> Believe it or not I've come within 15 feet of a great white in the water while on my board... no joke! This happened at my local spot just this month. I've probably windsurfed there 200+ times and that's where I had my encounter, but luckily the shark just went past.

PPS> I would register, but being Halloween I won't be able to make it. Next event hopefully I'm back in the action.

Turns out that this hurricane isn't going to do much.

Also, I live in an area that's close to two rivers, so basements aren't possible due to the high water table here.

I'll most likely be able to make both races, but I'll wait until tomorrow or Tuesday to confirm.

How is everything on the weather front Shawn? Hopefully all is well... from the footage on TV it looks like the storm surge is pretty large for this one.

The rain has slowed down finally after being non-stop since Saturday night... nothing heavy, just a steady rainfall. The wind gusts have picked up though. Should be over in the next few hours here.
