Topic: Yokohama Real Hoopties of New Jersey 2023 - Thunderbolt configuration?

As we're about 3 1/2 weeks away, does anyone happen to know which course configuration we will be having for Thunderbolt? Chicanes, no chicanes, one chicane, etc? Just curious, more than anything. Looking forward to meeting more folks at this event!

Do you happen to know which chicane they use? I know they can add 2, so just curious which one. I know it's a "silly" question, but just trying to get the layout correct...to order the proper sticker(s). :-D Stickers add horsepower and handling! :-D

Looking forward to NJMP too!  It'll be our first time running there, in the Tunachuckers' 15th year of racing in Lemons.  The Volvo Amazon will be returning.  Some retheming may have occurred...
