I can't speak for my co-driver, but I had a blast at the last event. Last 2 times I've been down there, they had a 70 sec course, and this last time a 67 sec course. And 6 runs. And even stopping for close to an hour for dinner, I was home by 8:30 east coast time.

I'll most likely be leaving from Duluth @ 6:30. 2.5 hour drive, gain an hour, puts us there around 8:00 AM. Enough time to un-load, register, tech, etc. If y'all want to meet up somewhere and caravan down that'd work

won't be able to be there. (will have to work half a day), but I can meet up for a little while afterwards.
