MUSTANG 60TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT BARBER

[Duane Black]

I am in advanced. I messaged @Mjschneidy and offered it to him after I scrolled up and saw he was looking for an Advanced spot

Let me know if he doesn't take the spot and I'll check with my friend.

I am being told as I type this that there is no waitlist and the event isnt full by their registrar - perhaps only the beginner groups are full?

It's the Advanced and Very Advanced that are full, I think. May be space in Beginner or Intermediate.

I have a slot in advanced and was just told theres no waitlist and no one to fill the slot. That came from a response to MSR email about canceling. If your buddy is told its full, then me, your buddy, and the MCA registrar need to chat

Interesting, I'll ask him to check again.

Looks like its open, @Mjschneidy passed

The cancellation policy was pretty strict on this one. I believe it said "if the event was full and waitlisted" not if your desired run group was full. I don't think they are going to work with anyone until the event is completely sold out for all days. They also are not sharing the list of entrants, so you have no idea how many are registered. I have not run with MCA before depending on how this goes I may not again.

Have to look at MCA track events as a whole event with the Vintage Mustang shows and vendors etc. As a stand alone HPDE they are not really that track focused, a little unorganized, at least how we are used to with the larger clubs. Registration will be an adventure, parking trailers away from the paddock will be required and run sessions will be 5 minutes shorter than advertised because grid in and out is done at a slow pace. Just go with the idea of an experience day(s) vs a track weekend.

I too will be doing all 3 days in Advanced group.
I second what Steve says about MCA track event. It's more about the experience and other Mustang fanatics

Once you're on the track, how is it? Do I need to move from Advanced to Very Advanced? I figured the big boys like you with hoosiers and aero would be running me over....

We will, but go very advanced.

Why should he go very advanced?

Duane is quick in his V6 Beater.

I just saw that due to an event at Barber on Thursday we will not be able to get in until 5:30.
