Steve will post the forms if he gets them in time.

Lunch menu? Y'all are SO spoiled! Pretty sure we're doing Publix platters this time. Cool stuff on a hot day.

For the newbs among us:

The forms above are required for SPC events. If you print them (back-to-back), fill them out and bring them with you, it will save you some time standing in line at registration.

I will have a newb co-driving with me. I'll make sure he gets everything filled out before hand. If there are any instructors in the afternoon session that would be willing to help, I'd appreciate it.

That paperwork can be pretty tough. Maybe start a noob out with a pencil. (Easier to erase mistakes)

First fill in Name and Address fields. The info you will need for this can likely be found on your noobs driver license. Be sure to check the spelling as some names are tough. Fill out any other circled fields and then have your noob sign on the apropriate line. Make sure they sign their own name, it's important. Once that is done give the paperwork to our registrar and you and your noob are good to go.

Consider yourself instructed. No need to wait till tomorrow afternoon.
Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

There's a reason we keep Ron locked up in the timing trailer. :jester:

We've got instructors assigned to each run group according to how many first-timers are in each group. (some groups have lots!)

Yes. And the noob (and everyone) needs to make sure they bring their license with them to show the regstrar! No license, no zoom-zoom! Heck if we can't know it's you who signed the waiver we won't even let you in...

Looking forward to braking in these bad boys this weekend (front calipers and rotors courtesy of a C5). Not that I use the brakes that much anyway, but now she REALLY stops. I had to pull out the harnesses while bedding in the brakes. And I may have broken my seat belt retractor (won't unlatch now). :whip:

Mmmm, not on purpose, but I guess so (corvette challenge on the bumper and doors). Guess I need some new vinyl on the back bumper to make sure all exterior parts are labeled properly. LOL

crap crap crap!!! Friday the 13th hit me bad. Went to have the new tires mounted and balanced today and when I picked up the car it had a violent vibration. The guy tried his best to help me out, but it's a loose motor mount and it can't be tightened without pulling the motor. :angry:

Anyone willing to let me co-drive tomorrow?

Also, anyone have an engine hoist and some space that might want to help me out with the motor mount?

Eric, come on out and ask around. Someone will probably let you drive, especially if you wave $20 tire money at them.

On my way out the door. See y'all there!
