Just an FYI, their gridding system is different than our pre-planned schedule.

Because I'm planning to attend a WERA race this year I recently spoke with a WERA racer about where I would be gridded as a novice. She told me they rearrange the schedule for every weekend based on sign-ups. So if a ton of middleweight racers show up I'll probably run a separate race, if not I'll be gridded behind the experts.
