It should. It's a cleaned up version of one of our early courses there.

was he at the last event?

and there's actually more than 4 people in S1? guess I'll bring the S. I need more practice on the new tires.

Yes he was. It was his first and he had a blast. Shouldn't have any trouble keeping up at a classic event.

I'll sponsor him, if he still needs it. I know him through nick.

I'd love to go to this event, the course looks great and it's very close to me. However, I've only been to one event, and only got familiar with the 2 guys I was working course with, would anyone be willing to sponsor an enthusiastic novice like myself?

Time to get the chalk liner back in service and call it St Pete? Big turnouts.

I like this course, too bad I'll be it of town the next three weekends. After that I should be good for the rest of the season, unless Miami makes it to the ACC Championship game. I will be trying to go to that game and hope it isn't another conflict.

You are becoming the anti-Steve. You have a competitive awesome car and a pile of reasons to miss events. Steve has a self-broken fast "hobby" car but shows up in lame grocery getters "with attitude" rather than looking for "reasons" not to show in the Hobby Lobby? :dunno:

Haha, hey now! You be nice to Steve! This is the beginning of every season for me, which is partially why I landed where I did for championship points last year.

I'll be back in force after football season is over, I just haven't missed a home game in I don't know how long.

I just realized that I'm towing the trailer to this event, so I won't have my car. I'll be a free agent if anybody's got a seat. 8-)

Yeah, I figured that was an obvious choice... but, didn't want to just "invite" myself to drive his car. Besides, I like car-hopping.
