The Grey8 will be there with wife in tow this time giving S3 a break to duke it out for 3rd place T Shirt toe to toe.

Bone stock SCCAwise for S2. You S2 guys up to it? Next season you'll have to work harder for your Trophies with my big rims and maybe even bigger tires.

Doncha love the competition in FAST. :snore: :rolling:

Everyone who ran last time at TBD probably remembers the loose sandy patches of gravel, those were there even after an hour of one person using a blower. (And a couple broom pushers)
It would be great if a few folks showed up with leaf blowers to help clear the course this time. I'll be there with ours, feel free to join in the fun. It should only take about 15 minutes to clear the course if we have a few people helping out. :thumbwink:

And I could really use that T-shirt. The wife won't buy me any new clothes. Though I am concerned that the new radiator overflow tank (in place of the Zephyrhills water bottle) is going to upset White Stallion's near perfect 59/41 weight balance.

We "stretched" registration for the Championship events a few months back to 54 drivers per session. For a sold-out event, this (should usually) account for no-shows and give us a full slate of 50 drivers, which is our goal.

So, as of right now, there are exactly four slots open in the Early session. Lots of room in the afternoon.

Thanks, Paul. I'll take you up on that. This will be a pickup from Howard's and drop at Brooksville.

Loren always has to live in the future. Paul didn't know that. He's still living in DST like the rest of us.
