What is CHP scoring? Does this mean shortened loading zone or supercharging?

I am presuming it means we will be using the rules that were involved in the team update prior to the championship (i.e. supercharging).

Anyone know if the venue has AC? I checked the forecast and it looks like it’s going to be 31 (some random number in the arcane system of farenheit) that weekend. :hot_face:

(Seemed appropriate to put this here since it’s logistics related).

Yes. It’s a very comfortable venue.

Looking forward to this event! Watch out for the improvement 4607 made! At Minnesota state they were about 1.5 cycles faster than they were at champs and were on par with 5913 and 6045 for the best cycler in the state

Hi Chris!

Will there be a concession stand at the venue? If so, will it be cash only or will they accept cards?

We’re excited to be making our third trip back to IRI (and we’re super excited about the corn).

Just mostly wanted to know about the cards or whether we need to have cash on hand. :wink:
