I'd offer to tow the trailer... But I can't justify Driving the truck all the way to Brooksville, without being able to look forward to a home cooked meal.
I'm out, Not signed up, Not interested in going or helping. Maybe SPC.. since James and his Dad will be there testing out the new MRoadster. and I have to use up my event credit sometime.

I'm towing the trailer; picking it up after work tonight.
Expect the trailer may be a bit damp inside, although we drained all the water out we could. If the weather cooperates, we'll want to open up all the bins and air them out, too...whoever signed up for trailer unloading has a job. :)
I left the trailer doors open inside the barn after the last event, so the trailer itself should be dry. The bins and their contents may be a different story.

I think it is just lazy.

So, after snapping a bolt on the intake cam holder plate tightening down the valve cover I was just about out for sure with my car.. but then I remembered I had spares, so loosened the cam, replaced the bolt, retorqued and all may be well now.. still not 100% on driving my car..

However, I just realized that I have removed the rear seat (simply because the subwoofer and such is bolted to the seat) so I might have to go to E3? Personally I don't care, it's either me versas Steve, or me versas Loren, Rydell and Dave (with the Si). If anyone is stock cares I'll run E3, if Rydell gets scared I'll run stock. :shrug: :)

Whoo hooo, I'm stoked getting to try out the 710's tomorrow. Going to be a long drive on them, but a can a fix-a-flat, an air compressor, and roadside assistance paid for with my insurance...I'm good to go. Just curious if I'll be rubbing some inner-fenders being slightly lowered. :roll:

I'm always scared at an autocross. I look in the mirror and think, "what's this guy doing behind the wheel!"

Sorry you're hurt -- rest up.

Just so no one gets excited, there's no waiting list. There's never a waiting list for Brooksville. The access roster went in a week ago -- can't change it now.

For SPC, there's a waiting list on-site -- if the event fills in advance, we don't start one early.

Just wanted to be clear.

I'm in a FWD car now though, so it's just as likely that you'll be beating me all the time now.

I'll run in E3 though. Jamie, if you see this, move me to E3. Since I'll be out on the course working it'll make a difference where you put me this time :)

Yeah. You don't know anything about driving FWD. :roll:

I can drive FWD :) (never said I didn't know how to drive FWD...) I'm just faster in RWD. This car I've never autocrossed so I actually have no idea how it'll do. It's completely stock except for the bilsteins shocks, even stock rear sway bar, so it's not how I'd normally setup a FWD car.
