    Tourist. Be gentle.

    I'll be coming up for this one. Looking forward to some new roads and maybe a familiar face or two.

    There will be new roads. You'll have to take your chances with those familiar faces.

    With only 3 1/2 weeks to the entry cut-off, you loiterers need to get off your butts and commit. Come on guys....and guyesses?!

    Thanks. 30+ is a good sized entry for a first year event. The last time the Chatto Creek 1000 ran, I think there were five of us.
