Current plan is to do two run groups. Pending the forecast that morning, we can expedite that schedule and be done as early as 1:30-2:00. But, the plan right now is to do 8 runs and shoot for about 2:30.

Remember, we don't even get on-site to start setting up at Dunnellon until 8:30. First car off at 11:00.

Rain or not, we are planning to try to test-patch the asphalt in a place or two. Nothing crazy, just wanna see.
If anyone has a shovel, or better yet a tamper, if you don't mind getting it a little dirty, bring it along!


I'm towing, and co-driverless again. Anyone want a co-driver/coach? No points for this one, so class makes no matter to me... pretty-please. :lust:

Steve you probably cannot deal with a 24 year old Moby Dick that early in the morning. Your "Dick" is probably much older and you have to drag it all the way to Dunnellon(sp).

Not to worry. Is much faster in wet than Vette with R tires.

You're welcome to co-drive with me and my Miata. I've not fixed it all up yet but it goes vroom and has sticky tires. We all know I could use the coaching. Pick whoever offers you the most fun ride though.

List for self:

Do not wash car.
Do not take morning shower Sunday. Might be provided for free @ 3pm? Save 15 minutes.
Buy $50 of steaks, potatoes and crying towels to get Publix $50 gas card for $40 to pay for trip. No later than Sunday on way home.
Bring tarp, sunscreen, hat and ponchos.
Bring toad shoes.
Bring flat nose shovelle.

Most awesome of all. Due to less than perfect weather forecast there won't be anyone flying that day so I won't have to wait for planes when leaving. :thumbwink:

There's not much more fun ride than a Miata, even The Mayor's dic..., um, Moby Dick.
I'm in - thanks Brant.

One of these days when I get really old I'm going to buy another bone stock Miata, MX5 (or whatever Fiat ends up calling it?) and race the unspinnable crap out of it and still get stickers to hold my other old cars together and my teeth in.
