(Friends, family and support crew will be able to purchase their meal for $10.95 and join the party.) We want to re-fuel those sore muscles, before you head home.

RealTime™ Scoring & Webcasting
Matt Butterman will be following the action and reporting the stories as they unfold throughout the event.

RealTime™ 2.0 Debut
Our state-of-the-art scoring system will be broadcasting results in real-time over the internet. So your friends and family can follow your results throughout the event.

Last year we debuted the new StoryBoard™ functionality at The 24 Hours of Killington and this year, we are putting the new 2.0 version of the hardware through its paces at Killington. The new system has been miniaturized with the latest technology and is now portable enough for us to take on the road (or more accurately on a plane) and offer this incredible timing system to other race promoters around the country.

We'll have RealTime terminals on-site and we'll be broadcasting a wireless intranet at the venue.

When the Going Get's Tuff, The Tuff Get Wet and Muddy...
Today's set-up has been a wet one. The long-term forecast looks like a good chance of thunderstorms right through the weekend. Hopefully the weather will clear out as we get closer to the weekend. This course drains quickly, given half a chance. You can keep tabs on the forecast on this link: >>>Killington Weather Forecast
