Don't worry I'm sure someone will be just as slow. :roll:

Please tell me you are bringing the "Isuzu Pick-Up". Because that would be awesome!

Sadly that was retired long ago. I was too lazy to update the car list so I just threw that in..

The event is officially full. 65 drivers and 5 guests.

Unless I missed it, nobody volunteered to co-chair with Steve. So, Merry Christmas, I'll do it. But, we need some people to start thinking about chairing events in the coming months.

Expect an evil course. :twisted:

I will seriously consider/volunteer to being the Chair of all Brooksville events for the entire year of 2013.

IF someone(s) will commit to bringing the trailer out and take it back to whereever it "lives" when it's retired like me.

I sold my truck to buy a Mazda.

Mayor Doug - we'll take you up on the offer, with a couple "ifs" -

If you'd be willing to take on a co-chair, should someone desire to learn the ropes (and hopefully they will).
If you'd be willing to allow someone else to design the course, should someone express interest. Not that we doubt your course design ability, just want the option to share the fun.

I'm sure we can get the trailer covered for you, one way or another.

What say you?

No problem totally agree with all that. All help is greatly appreciated and necessary. I assume you and Loren are still doing Jan tho' since that's so close and he has a course in the mill? I'll start thinking about Feb.

Yep, we've got January covered. Steve is actually working on a course design. Look out!

Ed, can you confirm trailer two for January yet?

I think Charles was dropping off on Friday and I was picking up on Sunday. I have to look back at the earlier post. Hopefully I'll have the tow hitch on in time.

Lemme know as soon as you can cuz I'm sure I'll need to clear that all with the airport - esp. the Sunday pickup, as we can't interfere if there's something scheduled there on Sunday. Please.

Evil is good ! :mad:

I love courses that really make you think: decreasing/increasing slaloms, entries and exits that seem easy (but aren't), sweepers that seem smooth on entry (but nail you on the exit) .

Fun Fun Fun !!!! :D

I have a draft of Steve's course. Gonna get it digitized and sent to Safety for approval soon. It's a little tricky. I like it!

Cool. I'll check with the airport and ask if it's ok to drop off the trailer on Friday.

Just withdrew my entry, so you have an open slot again. I'll be moving a son into his apartment in Gainsville that weekend. Pray for me, I have a Gator.
