Thompson Event Schedule

Post by AndrewG » Mon Jun 27, 2016 5:06 pm

Hi everybody! I haven't run any events with COM before but I am signed up for both days of the Thompson event (I'll definitely be at the first day; hopefully you'll have me back for the TT on the 2nd day) and I'm really looking forward to it. I think I've found everything I need to know from the website but I haven't been able to find an event schedule anywhere; is there one hiding? The most important thing I need to know is what time I need to arrive on both days and what time the events typically end. If someone can also sketch out how the day typically works as far as timing for run groups, the TT, trophies, etc so I know what to expect I would appreciate it. Also, is there any type of Tech Sheet that I should fill out in advance of the event? Please let me know.

Sorry for the newbie questions; see you on the track (I promise to give lots of prompt point-bys)!

Thanks,

Andrew #626 Miata

The Thompson schedule isn’t out yet, if it is I haven’t seen it yet either, I would expect it pretty soon though
As for times, unless we are doing a strange schedule id bank on being at the track from 6 to 5 both days, some events we run a little later.
Trophies are after the TT on Sunday, sometimes after any available open track at the end of the day.
From memory, the student run groups usually start with a class, then I believe 1 session break, then a driving session and back to class, and repeat 3 more times.
The tech sheet need only be signed by you at the event, someone else may have a digital copy they can post / email you if you would like to see what they check.

If the track goes hot at 9, tech usually opens at 7 and the drivers meeting is around 8:15. That's the schedule for most tracks.

I think the Glen starts at 8:30, which means everything moves up 30 minutes.
