I'll check with the wife unit.
Sounds like a good time!
Do they allow "little helpers" to tag along?

Sean, will you have a car on the track?

[seanery]

I doubt little helpers, but it depends on the position you are assigned.

I'll be coraling the corner workers and will be the liasion with PCA national, which means I'm a gopher.

I've worked the pit/grid before and it is a blast!

And if you haven't been out to PPRC before, there is a large viewing area and picnic shelter, so if you do bring the kids out, they have a safe place to watch from (behind a fence on top of a hill behind the cold pits) that gives a good view of nearly the entire circuit.
