You should read the rest of this thread. It's here. Has been for a couple weeks. (you could also find it by going to the "courses" page on the website and looking for the event location/date)

Well, no thanks to the city of Belleair Bluffs, I managed to figure out a way to get my trailer moved from its parking space and the vette loaded and ready to go. The process included the use of a chainsaw, a 9lb sledge hammer, a shovel, and a 3 foot long crowbar, but it worked. :o

You're implying you need a co-driver to find your way around the course?
The return of the Great Sculerati!

Come to think of it hardly anyone asks for rides in the Subaru unlike the Corvette-guess that might be why I'm challenged since!

Well, with your new "Wonderboy" suspension...we expect you to FTD tomorrow! Anything less will be a disappointment... :snicker:

Did a quick drive-by of the site tonight. (pretty well lit, btw)

Everything appears to be in order. They are prepping for their "Octoberfest" event next weekend and have tents erected in the grass on the south end. But, only one of them is a factor for us. It might require us to move the big sweeper in a few feet, no biggie.

so I think I figured out what's wrong with my car - seems the counterweight in my harmonic balancer came loose. trying to get it done tonight, but in case I don't, does anybody have a cordless impact that I could borrow in the morning to get this fixed?
