Okay, that's done. Thanks, Brant!

Did all 20 of them pay the procrastination fee?

Why would they? Registration is open until midnight Monday.

Nobody reads.

I'm going to be so happy to have power brakes again. New booster and synthetic fluid. LG.

Last Saturday was a little weird putting a new meaning to "late braking" at an autocross.

I cannot remember the last time I had to drive any car with manual brakes??? Now I have a renewed respect for Elliot Harvey!!! Oh that's right he never brakes until the finish.

Should have tried the Suburban when I had it out at the last event...would have brought a new level of fright to braking.

Amen to that!!! I saw the size of your master cylinder. Looks like a timex watch still ticking. Drum brakes + thick steel 2.5+ tons? Little or no engine braking? That thing out weighs our Moby Dick by over a ton and it has 4 wheel discs with a 215HP V8. You need a new name for it: "Moby Dick's Father - Big Dick?" Yeah you earned the title being it's all white with attitude. Needs a pegged leg guy tied to the side for Halloween:)

Joe's got a new ride. Awesome choice now that he's old enough to own one and go to weekly car shows.

Ahh, did not look at the time stamp on your post, I saw it today, Tuesday.

There are owls and there are larks. Life is actually pretty simple if you study nature.

DST ends Nov 5th the day after the next FAST event. Damn said the "owl".

So who's up for watching R1? Ken, Elliot and The Mayor "with brakes"? They have better tires/skills/youth but I'll have better brakes and attitude.

I don't know the guy in the morning. He might be crazy fast too with a Miata on R rubber? Go Mazda. I've never seen a 'slow' Miata... EVER!!! But I have seen plenty of slow drivers in my life in loads of really expensive cars. S.....L.......O.........W

I'm in. But someone took my favorite number, so I'll be #32 this time. Nice computer-sciency number. Haha

You could have bought/reserved your number.....OR......you could have come 5 times last year and got enough points to guarantee your number with a t-shirt. Life is so simple when you do what you're good at and enjoy it too. If the other person bought/reserved that number you are screwed probably forever.

Oh fer Pete's sake. All I want to know is, who in the heck wanted the number "3.14" besides Gerry?!?!

Sheesh, 18 drivers in S4? Can we get trophies down to 6th place?

And Preston is back... It'll be interesting to see if the MSM fares as well at Brooksville as it did at the Dog Track, heh. Hopefully the rest of us have a chance!

So what you are saying is that it's irrational for you to register that number.

Lots of big classes:
M1 = 11
M3 = 9
S2 = 13

No one, because there's no 3.14 in the system...it's 314. But if Gerry were a really clever mathematician, he'd simply extend his multiple of pi: 31459...out as far as he has room for on the car....
