Thanks for the info! Timing sounds good for catching the start of the
next season. Races still being every 2 hours is a big disappointment.
But if there are lots of drivers that will help (I'm a middle of the
pack driver). Are the skippy races still on the even hours eastern time
and about 45 minutes long green to checkered?

Has the skippy changed much since iRacing went live? The way I remember
it it was prone to oversteer and hadn't found any way to dial it out,
though maybe I just hadn't "stumbled onto a good setup". Made for a
nervous and often frustrating drive.
