Wow! That is some course. It will take some thought and a good assessment of your driving skills and your car to pick the best lines!

Tried to register, MAE is not playing well right now. Will try later.

Got submit reg but didn't transfer to paypal to complete transaction, couldn't log on again, so I may be in limbo somewhere.


EDIT: It worked. Now, just gotta buy new pads and finish the new mods...I have said too much already.

Canopies are fine, just bring something to weight it down so that it won't blow into somebody's car if the wind kicks up. Bikes are okay, just remember that if you ride them during the course walk that walkers have the right-of-way and "buzzing" them is not cool.

Being an active airport in the post-9/11 world... I wouldn't even joke about missiles. :-P

Liz just told me she cancelled her flight to Denver that day. I didn't sign up because I had to take her to the airpoirt.
Can you register me manually?
If so, great. If not, that's okay too.

Looking to get a confirmation on trailer tow -
Ed, Matt??
Will one of you be able to do the job for us?

Also need a volunteer to grab supplies!
Please.

We'll get the supplies, anyone know what we have left? Just checking, but I hope it's OK to get an extra roll of paper towels.... Howard's going to need them after Mary spanks him;)

And with that... let the trash talk begin!

Don't forget, we need everyone to be EARLY. If you're not there by 8:30, you probably won't get in. We could use some help setting up, as well, so if you can make it there by about 7:00, please do. I'm aiming for 6:30, myself... assuming the trailer is going to be there that early.

Also, be sure to review the rules and print your course map:

How many of you will get beat by a 20-year-old Miata on 175/70-14 all-season tires? :chuckle:

ONLY if it rains you will kick my and Matt's butts. Otherwise you will get way better mpg!! In the heat with those full depth tread tires made by the famous chinese food packer "Chunk king" good luck :whip:

Lucky for you I will provide Soy Sauce at lunch :thumbwink:

My tires SUCK in the rain. I'll be all over the place if it rains.

Aside from that... you've got to keep it together and not make any mistakes over four laps. IF you can do that, you'll probably have me by 2 seconds per lap for a total of 8 seconds.

But, you'll make a mistake somewhere. You'll blow at least one turn. It will cost you 10 seconds. You will lose to the mighty Fred! :jester:

No one has said anything to me about needing help getting their car to the event... Ed sounded like he was going to do it if he was able to register, and he is registered... Ed will have to confirm, or any other volunteers with a vehicle that has some towing capacity?

Really bummed, as I don't trust the car to make it to Brooksville, much less there AND back. She gave me more fits last weekend and looks like I'll be tearing into the opti-spark distributer this weekend, which means it won't be ready on Sunday.
