A little information please - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Considering trying to make Memphis this year. I checked out the site, and have read around here a bit, but there are some things I'm trying to get square on.

Honestly, all the "see this page, see that page" stuff just runs together.

What I'm looking to find out:

1. When do I have to be there to register (plan on AX, RR, and maybe TT)?
2. Does any of the lapping interfere with the AX, or vice-versa?
3. Is the TT for anything beyone bragging rights time only? Curious more than anything
4. Like equipment... what does that mean? I have a Sparco Evo seat, but I use a stock passenger seat, will this pose a problem for anyone?
5. What are the safety requirements for the road course?
6. Out of curiousity, would I be a Novice? I have open-track experience, Summit Point and Nelson Ledges. I know that folks like me have been "noviced" by different clubs and then harassed extensively because we are used to making a car move.

7. How hard on brakes is MMP? I know it's got a long front straight, but I also know turn 1 is really quick which shouldn't pound brakes.

Register in advance through the website (I don't have the link, but let me know if you need it and I'll find it). 2. Autocross and drag race run together. Usually part of the autocross course is part of (a turn or a few) of the road course with cones to make it "two way" for an out and back type run, in Memphis we used a section of parking lot as well. 3. I think it's just bragging rights. No money involved, maybe a trophy. #4-7 I'll leave to the others.
