Looks like you have no choice then. Trophy it is. Get there fekking early. Walk the course 7-10 times. Run as late as possible in the first heat, so you can see where people are having major issues, and going o/c. If you are a novice, take the novice walkthrough when they offer it. Ask an instructor to ride with you. Then let the instructor drive your car to show you how it should have been done. These things will help you learn to be a better driver.
And Chris, answer Eric will ya?
