This east course (jet fuel side) video (CAM S, Bob Armstrong, Cinncinatti Region, in Adam Popp's '91 Corvette, No. 91) -  I particularly like this video since it captures the "feeling" of what it is like to do a run at the SCCA Nationals.  E.g., what it looks like;  getting the "go ahead" from the grid people; to driving through the pits; lining up (note how few cars are lined up for instance); taking your run; finishing and picking up your "sticky" with the time written on it and back to your grid spot.  Or if it is your last run, and you are in a class that has to be weighed, then you would proceed directly to the scales to get weighed "before" returning to your grid spot (you can see the scales tent to the left just about when he picks up the time slip).  Your grid spot is also your impound for about 1/2 hour or so until the printed times are distributed and there are no protests. 

Enjoy!

Looks like Billy Davis will take CSP for a 3rd year in a row (2nd for sure) with Neal Tovsen in 2nd.

After the 2nd heat there is the 20 minute course walk ... it is somewhat cloudy but not supposed to rain yet ... Julie runs in the 4th heat on the west course ... touch and go whether she sees rain or not.
