Pretty much all paddock is spoken for, but people will release extra spots in the near future.

I picked up a few in the 2nd and 3rd row that I'd like to give to S2000 bretheren.

If you haven't picked up a paddock spot and you'd like one up front, send me a PM.

It's amongst the Cali folk.

Arizona has a large block in middle of row 10.

Sure glad I had someone grabbing spaces, only two opens as of this time.

All gone! I gave 3 spots to BS and RTR S2000s.

Minnesota is in the middle of 10 (under John Mensch) and Milwaukee is in 8 (under Jason Frank).

This system was a catastrophe. Thinking back over the years, it seems every "solution" the scca has only made issues worse. First come first served worked fine when I worked for Phil Osbourne during his reign as paddock chief. I have talked to many who have yet to get spots, need spots close to others who are sharing drives/cars/equipment/etc, need bigger spaces for TVs and enclosed trailers. I would hate to have the job of paddock chief!

I sense it still is a work in progress. Randall Prince responded to my email and assured me that those who did the land grab would be forced to give up spots. Our group was able to centralize some (with some space sharing due to co-drivers) and those with spaces outside of the general zone released their spots which are now refilled. I think that those who grabbed as many as 15-20 spots thought they were doing a service to their region/friends but the extreme detriment of the group as a whole.

Whoa, those must be some huuuuuge TV's to require bigger spots. LOL I keed... I know you meant RV's.

I agree about not wanting to be working the paddock duties. It's going to be interesting on how they handle those folk that reserved waaaaay too many spots. IMO, for those that tried to do that this year, should be amongst the last to be able to sign up next year. They really did make this 1st online experience a challenge.
