The entry list for the Labor Day weekend Double Regional at Infineon has been posted, and it’s gonna be a huge turnout. It’ll probably get even bigger, but at this point there are 345 entries. Group 7, the Spec Miata group, has an enormous 76 entries (and it’s now closed to new entries.) 2nd biggest group is my group, group 5, with 61 entries, roughly half of which are actually Spec Miatas with a 2nd entry in ITA.

The paddock is gonna be nuts, but I’m really looking forward to the race weekend!

EDIT: The entry list has been updated.  Up to 366 total entries.  I went up to the track early this morning to secure a paddock location.  If you want to come to visit, drive along the back side of the main grandstands, then turn left when you get to the end, and I’m paddocked with Rod McLane on the right hand side of that row … near where we usually are.

Now that I’ve integrated the blog and the gallery better, let’s try to embed a video. As you probably saw from the race report, I failed to get video from the race. But qualifying worked, using my brother’s old camera. The exposure wasn’t get quite right, but I’ve made a video of the fastest qualifying lap. I’m also experimenting with flash video vs. WIndows Media here. This is a large flash video. Let’s see how it goes.

Since I’ve added this Wordpress blog to the website, I’ve learned a lot more about the software, and I have concluded that rather than hand-editing the home page, and then using separate off-the-shelf software for the gallery and blog, this blog software would really be a good platform for the whole site.

So I’ve been playing with the look and feel today, trying to get it to be a good entire site.  When I’m happy with it, I’ll replace the home page with the blog page.

Let me know what you think about it.  Over the next few days as I get time, I’ll try to make improvements until I’m happy with it!
