Dave, what time should I meet you there with the key?

PM me your number, I'll leave work no later than 6PM to head over to Howard's, then get the trailer and drive over.. so I'll call you when I leave work, but I'd guess 7-7:30...

When I got home this evening there was a message on my answering machine. Someone was asking me about Saturday's event. The connection was bad, so I didn't get a name, or a number, except that it was enough digits to be long-distance.

Kudos to whoever hunted down my home number, which I don't think I've advertised, but whoever you are, I can't call you back...




We still need a volunteer to pick up some marble dust. I'm sending emails to some of the "west-siders."

Dave, much thanks for stepping up to tow the trailer. That really opens up my Saturday; something that will help me a lot! :D

NP.

I'm going to skip the autocross itself tomorrow, but will get to SPC around 4 or so to get the trailer, maybe a little earlier.

I was assigned to cleanup cones, which should be REALLY easy tomorrow, so I should be able to help as needed with that.. I'm hoping to be done with my new plans by 2 so hopefully I can get to the autocross by 3, 4 will be the worst case.

Hey, Steve, can you print a stack of course maps for tomorrow? (if you haven't already) However many you think we'll need. I'll bring a couple copies for setup.

7:30am?

i have run/work groups from jamie, all the reg. stuff., marble dust is got, lunch is ordered, brian K probably won't pick up water etc until that morning, which is fine.

i think we're all set... :D

I occasionally teach the law enforcement driving course, so I am familiar with how it's set up. I'll volunteer to help put it back together afterward.

7:30 refers to my co-chair.

I'll be there about 7 to open the gate.

the trailer will be there, so the sooner it's unpacked the sooner we can get the show on the road, so to speak. :roll:

If someone is really eager, as soon as the trailer is unloaded, grab the chalk spreader, dump it out and clean the crud out of it. It seems it probably got wet and what's in it is all caked and doesn't want to spread.

Remember, DON'T disassemble the LE course tomorrow morning! We're using it as a basis for tomorrow's course.

See y'all about 7:30.
