This could be your event, Dan! You've been studying the map. Did you go over there and sit and visualize how it's going to lay out, measure the camber angles, plan your shift points?

I'm calculating the mechanical grip friction coefficients as we speak...

What is the coefficient of friction for "hopes and dreams"?

CoE_Ho_Drm =

(3 - (sum((count_rows(vlookup(name="drew",true)),
(count_rows(vlookup(name="rice",true)),
(count_rows(vlookup(name="evans",true)) ))) + (powerball_odds)))
_________________________________________________________________ + 1
(count_rows (registration="M2"))

So, pretty much 1 + 3.4 e-10.

With all the effort Dan's putting into this one, I may have to actually walk the course.
Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

now to prepare myself for the embarrassment of getting beat in my own car lol
Sure do appreciate the ride. Don't be so sure if getting beat. ..thise S2Ks can be a handful!
Randy - thank you again, but I gotta take a rain check on the co-drive. Hurt my shoulder. I'll be at the event and will happily navigate from the passenger seat, but no steering wheels for me this time. :bangwall:

Damn man, that sucks! I was looking forward to the co-drive.
I'm still sick but I'm going, hopefully my sinus doesn't implode cause that would be a DNF.

Well I guess I'll have to miss joining the fun this afternoon. I was looking forward to heading over after work to hang out with everyone. I planned to bring my camera and take some pictures to post on the forum.

Unfortunately, my crazy work schedule requires more than just the morning today, I have a leaking roof after all the rain this week and my pool pump is knackered so I have to deal with these problems instead.
It sucks, but I don't have much choice.

Look forward to being back in action soon.
Dan.
