One of our event chairs is miss-classed. Nick should be in H.

Loren, I would love to do safety training, but I haven't even gone through the stuff you sent me. I also saw that you're co-driving Chucks RX-8. I think this is going to be another interesting event, points wise.

Okay, just be sure Jamie has you down for the correct position. I'll keep you in the loop as the course design comes in. (Dan? Nick?)
I put him down for what he asked for in his registration (see the running list on the first page of the thread)...if that's changed, send a note so it's positive.

Looks fun to me. Got my vote as well.

Tim , you should that course to be quite Corvette friendly, some kook in a Mustang drew that up. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_02

I just saw this so I couldn't meet the 24 hours, but I could get a design together by this weekend, if you want something new. If not, that one is a few years old, so there aren't too many people that will remember it.

Go for it, Drew. I'd like to see a new design. Plus, it will be a more relevant training tool for Jack if we start with a new unapproved and untested design.

We've got 3 weeks to tweak it, so let's see what you can come up with!

Does this mean you won't be towing the trailer? (I notice I'm already listed as trailer towing although you previously said you were towing; not sure why that is).

'Cause you were the first entrant (by time stamp) to volunteer for towing the trailer. If Bob can't make it, we definitely need you to tow.

Oh. That was a mistake and I immediately edited my registration, but I guess you got the original not the edited version of 2 minutes later. :?

The logistics of towing the trailer, getting my car there and getting lunch there will be tricky!

Bob: come back. We need you!

I had a pm exchange with Bob. He is not planning to attend, nor tow the trailer. Work demands.
Bill, can you work it out, or do we need to rummage up someone for Plan C?

I can probably work it out. Let me get back to you (probably later today) to confirm.

Bill, since I'm co-driving with Chuck at this event, I don't need my car. I could drive your car to the event if that helps.

Spoke with SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) who said that we can work out the details of how to get trailer, car and lunch all to the site.

So, leave me designated as trailer tow and lunch.

I know you all missed me, but I'm coming back for this one. I had some issues with the Subaru wagon that I believe are worked out now, and my one run with the G8 was enough to learn me that it's no good for Autocross. I see we have new classes now. That means I'm losing my nemesis Kenny in his Sti. I don't know whether to be happy or sad? Now I just have to beat Drew's Mustang.

I'll be making my return after a long absence as well, so you can put me down as one of the "starters" and I can pitch in where ever needed.
