This sounds really incredible. If I don't run the event I will still absolutely be there taking some photos and video.

Um, I think the announcement should be corrected. According to the Main FAST site, the BattleX is today :D

No way to correct that. The date shown is the date the news item was published.

I made a small change to clarify the announcements on the Homepage - is it better? FAST

Steve, we probably have the option to not show that date if you want to do that. The system is pretty flexible.

I'm more than happy to hunt through the options to figure that out - it probably wouldn't hurt. If you get to it before me, that wouldn't hurt, either. :wink:

Until then, I'm glad it's clearer. :D

Okay, tweaked the layout of the Announcements. Should be crystal clear now.

New announcements style is good. Thanks.

I'll get the info to Loren and Ron ASAP, but as he said, anyone can tell if they've been to 4 events in the last 12 months...In fact, anybody who is interested should check, 'cause it's always possible someone might get missed - I'm sure a post will be made when invites go out so folks will know when to look.

Hey guys,

I'd love to come out and run, but I haven't done enough events with fast. I'll considering coming out and taking some photos. (I do motorsports photography). When the event gets closer I'll be sure to let you guys know.

I'm posting purely to solicit an invite in case my name is forgotten. :D

I've always thought Pro Solo looked like fun. This sounds like pretty much the same thing.

I'd cetainly never assume I'm invited (in fact... I assume the opposite)

But I'd just like to throw out there that if you need any help with anything I'm willing pitch in (with supplies or such), regardless of my participation or lack of... I'm always willing to lend a hand. St. Pete is easier for me to get to, so I don't mind being there early if need be... anyway, just thought I'd extend the offer :)

I usually slap her on the back of the head, but this time she's out of reach... I'll just throw something at her instead ;)
