Topic: Doing Time in Joliet Entry List and Tech Times - Autobahn '21

Hey all, see below for the entry list for next weekend's race (might be an addition or two) at Autobahn in Joliet. The highlights:

- FIVE Mitsubishi (and DSM) entries with just two BMWs.
- All three of Ford's MN12-platform cars, don't think that's ever happened before: Thunderbird (SC!), Cougar, and Mark VIII. They all have different engines, too.
- Euro-Bourgie 2-on-2: 1990s Mercedes vs. 2000s Volvos.

Tech times are on the event page where they always are and also here.

I'd like to request that Fireball Racing be put in the last tech time slot for all future races until the Fairlane actually finishes a race without consuming another engine. 

The Fairlane has the potential to break something just rolling it off the trailer.

We've not made our assigned tech time yet, and putting the Fairlane in the second group essentially guarantees that we'll miss our assigned time.

This is a public service announcement.

I've lost a lot, but the Fairlane finally won an IoE.

OK seriously folks...Colorado likes to brag about their awesome potluck but it is just the pot brownies talking.  We all grew up with stupid church socials but this is a potluck you want to be at because it is full of Lemons idiots telling lies over good food and adult beverages.

Just show up at 4. It's NBD to us, we're just trying to manage workflow for ourselves by not having 50/70 cars in the first hour (and having people in line for an hour) and then twiddling thumbs for the last three hours.
