This is depressing. Half the posts in this thread are from people saying they're NOT going to attend this event!

Where are the people who ARE going?

Me and the old man will be there, mopping up S3 with a solid 4th place finish.

Excellent...I have you guys all fooled...anyone with lots of tire, HP and / or AWD will cover their inadequacies as a driver...I'm a perfect example!

Wait until I execute the secret weapon upgrade! (SS braided hydraulic clutch line)

Registered. I got some Formula V to restore my rock hard 3 year old tires, so Scott is going down if he bothers to show up. Now I just wish they would sell me something I can paint on my gut to restore my rock hard abs I so many years ago.

Depends on how "teen" they are. If they're 16+, that's okay. (just have to sign a minor waiver) And they have to be licensed (no permits) to ride or drive.

I'm back.

Having studied a "broad" with wrong side in and out hard braking for a month, using "on time" trains and riding two story buses I'm finally ready to take on S2 properly = bass ackwards. Sleeper Joe Vance might actually not be able to beat me this time with his early morning pace. I also see someone with a lock on season pts has moved to MO to beat up on mod cars and give others a shot at 2nd in S2:)

Before I left on travels we (w/dealer tech) finally solved 4 riddles of the Grey8. No more CEL's. Full fuel. Full power. Decent alignment (with helpful recommendations).

I have no excuses anymore. Oh and Chuck Ray traded in his Red RX8 for what appears to be an even faster car. So watch out for him too in G Stock equivalent. I think he's competitive in both S1, S2 and S3 also....geesh. Racing with a warrantee. How novel.

One of these days Jake "Alaska White" in a Scion will bless us with an appearance in his stock S2 car. A Most entertaining driver who learned to xcross on snow apparently? When he's on he's hard to beat. Reminds me of that Scoda guy somewhat.

One of these days I'll have to bring Shamu back out to play with you. We always run very close to each other's times in our Foxbodies. Probably at the Horse Track. Seems fitting somehow to run there.

Now that the Grey8 is finally sorted out it's time to have some fun with Shamu again!!

Hey, we're going to need someone to tow the trailer to Brooksville for this event. This will be a one-way tow, since we have another event at Brooksville at the end of the month. Anybody available?

I wouldn't bother if I were you, you really don't stand a chance once I've treated these tires with the magic sauce, you are done. It will probably be really nice day to be out on the boat at Three Rooker, that's probably what you should do and save yourself the humiliation. ;)

Seriously? You guys should just get a cat to piss on your tires. Better than a guy with 140's thumping you both.

Why doesn't the trailer Queen guy just take the "racing trailer" to the event and leave the Queen at home?

"Bring Your Friends Challenge" Update:

"Other Asian" makes is in the lead with 12 entries. Euro, Mazda and Ford are right behind with 10 entries each. Other US makes is at the bottom of the list once again with 7 entries. It ain't over 'till it's over! It's not too late to wrangle some friends and steal that win and 3 free entries for your group!
