Default 7 days to Winterfest!!!! Some advice??

This year they are offering a 2hour night DE!!! I'm in...
They are trying to set up a classroom session for those who have never experienced a night DE. That would be me.
Anything I should bring up or ask during the classroom session???

Ask if you can bump draft all the slower Porsche traffic out of the way, that should go over well

At night you should have an advantage as the guys wont know what passed them till its to late.

Remember the faster groups at winter fest can be very aggressive, watch your mirrors and be prepared for bombing passes inside on turn 7. Dont ask!!!

Don't forget to point out that their engine is on the wrong end and they're carrying insufficient fluids.

I've run with PBOC before so I have first hand knowledge that they're no faster or more agressive than the mixed group I've experienced at NASA or Chin. They're a great bunch of guys and gals, in my experience.

I was looking more for some hints on night,,,,,

If I were you I would ask that Frank guy to drive my car. That way I could ride along and enjoy passing all the Porsches.

Tell that Frank guy to come on down and we'll see if we can pull one over on the grid starter.
