Trailer has been delivered. Unfortunately the 240 is still down and will not be ready for this event on Sunday.

Anyone up for offering a co-drive seat?

Charles, since you will not be driving the 240 will you be picking up the trailer, or am I still doing it?

It's not dropping below 60, and you have a closed car! Bring suncreen, though -- it's supposed to be severe clear.

If you do, you'll be run over. Just keep an eye out near the toll plaza between 54 and 52, and right around the SR 52 exit.

Charles, you're welcome to drive my beater Miata if you can stoop that low. (I mean, literally... do you even fit in a Miata?) Maybe you'll get a better offer?

What's wrong with the 240, anyway?

Thanks Chris, Loren.

My legs don't really fit in the NA's too well, I think I'll take you up on the offer Chris.

NC's are leg friendly...

At 6:30 in the morning it's just us, a few stragglers and highway patrol. :lol: Hmm, reminds me, I need to take my sunpass out of the truck. That'd suck...

Any chance someone could pick up the supplies duty for Sunday morning?

I don't plan on driving the truck up unless absolutely necessary.

Haha that may be, but I still don't want to overload the tire and have it pop under load.

I've never autoxed a mustang before, what year is it? I'd be interested in the challenge :P

It looks like only a dozen or so bottles of water are left after today and maybe 20-25 cans of random sodas. I'd say go with 6 24 packs of water and a few 12 packs of sodas. We'll also need ~ 5 bags pf ice in the morning from either of the gas stations near the airport.

Thanks
