I'm glad to read that a car change is not an issue!
I just bought an Evo to start racing, but I found it in California (only one with 24,000 miles for less than $20K) Althought they got my money Dec 25, the car was loaded on a truck only tonight... They said they have 2 drivers and will only stop for gas, but even doing so, the car will get here Saturday night or Sunday.
Looking on the bright side, if the car is on the truck, I may not have been scamed buying the car online(!?), I should have the car for next Saturday (I'll need to find a quiet place to get use to the car...); and I'll drive my everyday car to this Saturday's class! I always wanted to learn to better push and control my Mustang!
And even if I can't help being a little disappointed , I'm still getting pretty excited about these 2 events.
I have been living here for a while, but had no clue that this kind of racing was happening in my area!
I'm also impressed with the entry lists, the diversity of cars is amazing! I obviously don't know how it compares to past years, but it got me fired up!
My wife can't believe I'm going to get up that early on a Saturday!!!

Only the gratuities you give your instructors for doing such a fine job.

You won't mind if I wait until Saturday afternoon, then, eh?

I prefer Cold Beer from the country of Belgium, however any donations of Yeungling will also be appreciated.

Glad to see you coming out, those who don't know Phillipe came to a Tampa Rally event and got hooked, I'm glad to see the synergy between the clubs working so well... Look forward to teaching you Philippe. after watching you in my sentra, I know there is much untapped talent!

[Philippe]

Jeff,
I don't know about untapped talent...
But you know your beers!

I'm still Sick. sorry I missed everyone today.

Beware of Bad Sushi! (or at least I think)

I can't remember the name of the person that drove my car today - driver 111. Please make sure you are at the autox next Saturday - my husband wants to talk to you about driving the Honda. He thinks it was a big mistake.

^^ that sounds ominous...

I think today went extremely well. Here's a link to the post-event thread. I'm gonna lock this one down.
