We'll need a trailer tow, and supply pick-up. I went thru the Dec event threads - did anyone note how much of what was left over?

I'll do registration at the gate, which means the co-chair will be coordinating things at the trailer.
My apologies, I never checked back here after reading the initial posts. I would be happy to co-chair an event in the near future and look forward to increasing my participation in this club.

Saw I think Ed put three more unopened 12 packs of odd in there so it's reasonable to think there are a total of 72 various cans in that one cooler.

Probably not alot of Coke, Coke Diet or Sprite left.

Wild guess of 3 cases of water standing by the trailer? Maybe a trailer loader will remember?
From Doug's guestimate, we have 3-cases of soda and 3-cases of water. I'm guessing I should pick up 3 more cases of water, and 3 more cases of soda, plus ice and gas. Made note about Diet Coke and diet Dr. Pepper, of course we always have the best diet drink that we never run out of,...water. ;)

Evan, you will be most welcome if you'd like to co-chair the Feb 16th Airport event with me? I think I have that first course design covered all ready. Or any other Brooksville Event during 2013, if you want to do a course design, since I put hand in cookie jar for the whole year out there to make everyone's lives a little easier?

Excellent! Hopefully, Charles got the trailer delivered this afternoon.

Looks like it will be cool and cloudy, but dry. Perfect autocross weather!

Dropped off the trailer earlier today. Tires were about 10psi low, aired them up. Apparently no one else tows the trailer level? After dropping the trailer onto my truck I had to jack the whole trailer tongue/truck rear up to be able to disengage the tongue jack to swing it up for transit. If it's tilted back normally you probably wouldn't have this problem.

Tires were probably down a bit due to the drop in temperature. Thanks for airing them up and hauling the beast!

See y'all in the morning.

I have to do the same thing. I love the garage but hate the trailer bay and the abrupt concrete transition where it is. I always carry a jack with me when I get the trailer

Well I'll be showing tomorrow so I can work and help out, but the MSM has a hairline crack in the radiator so I won't be driving. That's what I get for refusing to pay half of the cost of the radiator for expedited shipping.

Both issues don't seem like anything a few pavers and a few bags of gravel couldn't fix. Not sure if you, Ed, or anyone else over near Largo have any interest in taking on the project. I'm sure Howard wouldn't mind and Steve could probably reimburse the funds? I would think for $40 or less in material it could be smoothed and leveled out a bit more to eliminate the jacking step too.

I will be bringing the trailer home tomorrow (Sunday). I haven't done that with this new truck. I don't understand the issue here. Once you get over the "hump" in the apron, isn't it okay to disconnect? What jack would I need to to this then? The new truck is much higher than the older Sport Trac.
