Steve usually puts them on the website and posts notice when he does so. Haven't seen that notice yet. SPC generates a new form (with specific ID numbers) for every event, and sometimes they're slow about getting it to us.

Looking forward to Sunday and shaking out the new ride! Been working on it for a few weeks; got new brakes all around and flushed the system with ATE fluid, fixed a bad vacuum leak, got the battery tie down fixed, installed a new set of 17" wheels and tires, got the exhaust all tightened up, and cleaned up the stinky smelly interior. Can't wait !! Yellow_Colorz_PDT_06

I think you'll be okay, the amount of weight I lost on the car from removing all dirt probably won't give me much of an advantage :D But it does stop really well. :lol:

That's okay, I'm selling the Yaris, anyway. This will probably be it's last appearance... with me at the wheel.

I've been wondering if there's an NC for me. :wink:

Actually, I've been looking at EVERYTHING, but I keep coming back to the Miata. But, even that isn't as simple as it seems. I want a 5-speed. I want a hard top. I want Copper Red w/ cloth interior. All the hard top models are 6-speed, with leather, of course.

Part of me just wants to get a coupe, that way I don't have to screw with installing a roll bar to run track events. But, who makes a coupe that's anything like a Miata?

Conflicted, am I.

Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!

I had the opportunity to buy a new leftover stock '87 X-1/9 back in 1989. I think they wanted something like $12k for it. Probably should have bought it. Ended up buying a CRX instead.

Hmmm. It seems that I'm in a time warp also. I guess the times shown aren't EST.

I have the laptop. I'll try to get there as early as possible. Do I need to do anything like charge it?

SPC Registration Form

SPC Waiver Form

Feel free to download these, fill 'em out, and bring 'em with you to registration on Sunday. If you do choose to download, please print them back to back (just reinsert the paper in your printer upside down) so we have less paper to manage and kill fewer trees. Thanks.

Reckon it couldn't hurt to charge it up. While I've got your attention, could I impose on your good nature to do the novice guide gig on Sunday?

Holy craps! I said I would pm you a shopping list and only got that far. I'll get back to you shortly.

I'm still on DST, evidently.

Edit: PM sent

Based on what was leftover at the last event, we will need-
6-8 bags of ice
12 cases of water
5 cases of assorted sodas (to include 12 cans of Cherry Coke)
TP

Can anybody think of anything else? We got enough marble dust? AA batt'ries?
