Is anyone else here going to the Runoffs? (September 19-25)

We are, all week, so hope to see some of you there!

(we're also considering Petit Le Mans and/or the ARRC at Road Atlanta... Jac?)

No but I'll keeping an eye on the FC/FF classes, since the winners get entry into the Mazda Road to Indy scholarship finals.

Possible, not on my schedule yet.

I will be there Thursday through Sunday. I am once again writing for Sports Car magazine at this event, so I will be based in the press room but will be regularly buzzing the paddock for background. October Sports Car mag just came out, the annual 'Who Will Win' issue. See how good---or bad---my fellow scribes and myself are at picking the top three for 28 classes. My historical "hit rate" for picking the winner is 48%. Which means that I have been wrong 52% of the time!

Hope all who are on hand at Mid-O are having a ball. Stuck in Wisconsin but streaming a great F5 duel at scca.com at the moment (all races are streamed live on the site).

Monday night, just back from Mid Ohio. Sorry that we did not run into each other, Eric. Spent my whole time in the press tower or prowling the paddock. Now I have to write all my articles.

Between knowing how busy you'd be, seeing old friends, and walking tons with my mates, I never had a chance to look you up. Sorry about that.

We left the campground at 10:30 this morning and are now an hour north of Road Atlanta. First motel in seven weeks later tonight. :-)

Thanks to both Toms. :-)

I couldn't imagine anyone touching Neil Verhagen on this. Wow, what a performance!!!

For the record, Neil is a 15 year-old that dominated Formula F in a surreal fashion. This kid will go places.

Jac, wish you could have made it.

Thanks Again, everyone.

He's leading the east coast-based F1600 championship as well (which also has an entry for the MRTI scholarship).

Thanks for the insight, much appreciated!

I can't find a website for Neil, so would appreciate your checking in to let us know your decision... and anything else you can add. In my case of oft-irregular track visits, sometimes progress like Neil's gets lost in the shuffle and I'd sure like to know more about him and how he's coming along -- and where.

Best in your efforts, and Thanks Again!
