I'll be there!

How much is it to practice on Friday thanks.

[Mr. Tune]

I would assume from previous races I've attended, that practice is free for those signed up to race that weekend. I would imagine practice is closed for the general public.

You'd be best off calling the track tonight to be certain though.

What Dimo said. Free to people in the race this weekend...

I'm dropping by there Friday morning to see what's going on and snap some pictures.

Stopped by Leisure Hours this morning around 10:30 and there were already 15 guys there getting used to the Big Air Affair that will be talked about for years.

Track builder Bernie, was quoted as saying, "They're always asking for bigger air....and they got it!" (approximately what he said).

The track is manageable if you keep your wits about you.

The last few pictures are the view of Leisure Hours as you approach on Schwietzer Road from the east. Look for the big CPX sign, and LHR is across the street.

Good luck to all the victims this weekend. :lol:
