I spoke to Uncle E last night and asked him about practice on 7/4 and that shouldn't be a problem. I will let Virus Racing or Roman do the official announcement....

Race Day July 5th, track opens at 8:00AM and racing begins promptly at 11:00AM.

There will be plenty of room for parking and tents/pop ups. Please bring tables, chairs, cool beverages (its going to be hot), and generators for power. We will try to have several generators on hand available for use, but just to be sure there is enough for everyone if you have one, please bring it. Anything else you can think of that I am missing, pack it to be safe!
