Just 1 race? Or both races?

I'm pretty sure 14 is the max or pretty darn close to it. I think that's why Darren has always set it up for 14 slots. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody

We should probably make a reservation if we don't want to wait an hour to race.

That was an exception on January's meet. We usually have a spot held for us on the first thursday of every month which isn't a problem. In January, the meet fell on New Year's day so it was pushed back a week. That unfortunately meant we met on a night where another car club had it reserved. As long as we go on our scheduled days, there shouldn't be a problem. Official reservations require a $90 deposit as well.

I always have it set for 12 slots... 12 is the max.

I just called Sykart to confirm our 8pm first race, and a 2nd race after that one.

[DarrenDriven]

Also, because I am a Sykart corporate sponsor I can make the reservation without a deposit. If you ever need me to call in then just lemme know.

[Chen]

Well let's make sure we don't get bumped!

[DarrenDriven]

What do you mean, don't get bumped?

[thehapaone]

honestly we go so much we should set up a nw86ers corporate sponsorship at sykart then we can have a banner and stuff

At times. They don't honor our reservation and we wait an hour to race.

[DarrenDriven]

That was one time and I was warned in advance by Sykart about that -- and I relayed that warning on here so everyone would know. 95% of the time it works out without that happening.

It's why I call ahead two weeks before our meet. Just to make sure.

It's the guy at the check-in that always gives us crap about not making a formal reservation every time. He always says "usually you guys are fine without it, but..."
