Hey, y'all. Registration closes Wednesday. The event was full a couple days ago. Then not full. Then full again. Presently there are two openings. One Early Session, one Late Session. If you know anyone who couldn't get in because the event was full, be sure to let them know to try it again. They might get lucky!

It's great to be back, it's only been two months but feels like a year! I need to autocross, can't wait for Saturday.

Tony knows that it's time for me to bring out the "secret weapon" against the Ken/Sam GT3 Slam.
M2 may remain seated. Their turn is next. :hourglass:

What's your "secret weapon", Doug? Do you have a super-secret tire pressure that you keep on tap for special occasions? :grin:

I haven't been on these forums for a 6 weeks. What's wrong with me? I'm registered for afternoon, may have to come out and visit some morning folks, too. It's right around the corner.

Loren reminds me I have a 20 year old 7 gallon air tank used for racing I have no further use for. Too big so I got a smaller one.

Has a very slow leak I think in a fitting is all. The tank itself is in great condition. FREE to bad home.

Let me know and I'll drag it with me tomorrow.
