we've already done this course at SPC - and go look at the event results - I'm pretty sure a Miata had the FTD!

Guys, it looks like I've got a Sebring DE this weekend. Can you please take me off the list and credit me the entry (If I've even paid at this point - not sure)?
Thank you

You can cancel yourself on myautoevents up until 11-7 and use the event credit any time you want. Send me a private message right before you cancel. I have a friend that wants to go. :)

The course is coming together. Definitely something we have never done before at SPC. Nice and long, interesting twists and turns.

We are having our famous FAST Pizza for lunch (groan) so if you can't eat that you better pack a lunch.

Has anyone volunteered to get supplies yet?

I guess we need someone to pick up a bag (or two) of marble dust. I know I have picked it up before but don't remember the specs. Maybe someone could chime in or I will do a search.

There was one unopened bag left after the SPC Sept event. Don't know how old it was or if it's still there? I think Eric G. picked it up the last time?

The course is waiting on one more nod before it's ready to post. Think "long course with sweepers, hairpins, straights and slaloms" and you won't be too far off.

Meanwhile, look what the FedEx guy just brought:

Bring your leftover dollar bills from the strip club, Steve will be selling these for a very reasonable introductory price. I think it was "take what you need for a buck" or something like that.

If you have leftover bills from a strip club then you're not doing it right. :grin:

Stickers look great ! I need to update my old ones, they're getting a little sun burned.

We'll have the "classic logo" stickers available, too.
Same low price.
