Thanks Brian. I don't have any solid commitments from anyone yet and it will just take too long to do alone.

Hmm. Car Salesman thoughts here: It's really a much nicer drive leaving before 5. You don't have the sun to deal with. There are less cars in your way. The old folks aren't heading to church yet. You'll get a better feel for the course than you could by just walking it. Your friends and colleages will admire the effort. You'll get a prime pit spot....O.K., I'm out of bait. I hope someone is there or you all will be twiddling your thumbs at start time instead of actually starting. First three that are 100% commited get out of their work assignment.
