Brian K. if you actually can get off work you are also entitled to the "nooner" Twosome in my Vette.

Brian was really fast in an obsolete 442 Olds and me in an obsolete Roadrunner Plymouth. Shocking we are also closing in on our expiration date which is "never".

Go Brian. See you Sunday. We will get massive smiles on our faces one more time.

Getting a sticker keeps getting harder...the competition has improved skills...so I need more HP.

Hence the reason to pursue my previous podium tags...might not get many more with Mario and Drew, the slalom masters.

So you're saying I need to get a 6.0 for the suburban and drop the 5.3 in the vette now? Man I need to get a high paying job soon. LOL

Or you could just drive better. (Insert sarcastic emoticon here)

There are at least 6 weather forcasts for Brooksville all week. Put them all on an I-Phone if you have one. Drive yourself nuts.

Flip a coin. Like "Every" FL day during the wet season. I drive faster in the wet than dry it seems? OR just tie in S1. I will be leaving my cloth chair home and buying some extra premium gas on the way to the event to accommodate all the guys I've challenged:)

LOL, thanks for the (spatula) offer Doug, but I just wanted to hear the smack talkin' in person! Should be another fun FAST day, rain or shine. See you all out there.

I like my weather.com predictor of 80% rain in the PM...RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!

Likely it will be after the cones go home though.

[Loren]

I'm gonna start charging AWD cars double if you're gonna pray for rain! Maybe triple. Maybe lifetime ban if your prayers are too successful.

S3 has a healthy showing this event with 7 drivers, should be fun...

I am a protégé of Brian with the "bitchslap" '07 mustang. Never beat him with Shamu. Lacking about 2 seconds.

Hopefully you practiced the braking technic? I can clip him with my vette by a .1 sec until I tell him I did. Then he gets motivated.

Will be cool to see if 1LE "chair racer" can best him? I fully expect you to best 1LE Sunday.

3 test dummies in their car for ballast? Only if it rains. Penalty.

Bringing an AWD box kite to an autocross is like dating your sister. You know it will fly BUT:

You know how it will end long before you leave home.

Get some bigger rims and tires and let us drive it:) We'll all show you how.

If it's dry in the sky don't be shy.

You can still fly.

Yeah, I need my stinking car working so I can show up to more than 4 autocracies a year. I feel I've lost my touch...hopefully I can start getting back into the grove tomorrow. Looking forward to flogging the car...and claiming a sticker for the first time in a long time.

It has been brought to our attention that there is a Blueberry Festival going on in Brooksville on Sunday, April 12 from 10am-6pm. We don't know for sure just how big of a deal this is or how bad traffic will be, but our rough guess is:

This probably won't affect the Early Session much, but it MIGHT... maybe plan on allowing 10-15 extra minutes to be sure you're not late if traffic backs up.

This probably WILL affect the Late Session! You guys should try to give yourselves an extra 20-30 minutes of travel time, especially if you're coming THROUGH Brooksville. (but, traffic could back up on 41 for a good ways to the South depending on how big this festival is)

You might end up early and have to wait at the gate for a few minutes, but it beats being late and not having time to walk the course, prep your car, and all that. It also beats missing the time that the gate is open and not being able to get in!

The forecast is for possible afternoon showers, so we're going to do our best to stay ahead of schedule and beat the rain. We can't do that if a bunch of people show up late.

See y'all tomorrow! Be early!
