I'm thinking of a way to save my tires by swapping a couple of donut spare tires on the front for your runs :P .

I'm signed up for Tech, but I can do both, unless someone else wants to do Tech ?

Doing both shouldn't be that hard if you have lunch delivered.

I have no problem doing both; I'm not sure what Loren has in mind for lunch, might be doing something that has to be picked up ? Doesn't matter to me if I have to pick it up; I'll be there by 7:30, just point me in the direction you want me to go. 8)

Don't think it's in the FAST lunch budget, but pay for travel expenses (flight, rental car, nice hotel, food, strip clubs, etc.) and I'm there! I better think about leaving soon if I'm going to make it back by the 13th Yellow_Colorz_PDT_06 .

Maine lobster can be bulky and difficult to carry. I'd better go with Brian to give him a hand...

$5 is for lunch (and it actually helps a little if you pre-register for that), if you just want to watch, all you need to do is show up and sign the waiver.

Davo is giving it a final review. Very simple course. The devil is in the details.

Hey folks,

Unfortunately Mary and I won't be able to make the Sunday Autocross. That means someone needs to help out by bringing the supplies.
We will be at the school on Sat!

Sorry, Scott

In the case of this two day event we really need more stuff than usual, and need to have it on Saturday morning, right?

I'm not able to do this during the week next week, so if no one else posts here I'll have to take care of it this weekend.

Or, since the course will mostly be set up on Sunday morning someone could take inventory from Saturday and just run over to Walmart that morning to restock...

Yeah, SPC is easy, Wal-Mart is across the street. Just find a benevolent volunteer to either stop on their way or make a run Sunday morning.

So we have a option on what layout we want to run ??
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!

Yep, optional direction on the slalom and the skidpad. Choose wisely. Choose often.
