I might forget the car. I might even forget the trailer! :shock: But I sure won't forget to bring an appetite! :wink:

As long as "late" is before 9am, you're good. That goes for everyone. You need to be on-site, waivers signed and ready for the driver's meeting before 9:30.

The lunch order has been placed with delivery at SPC @ Noon and Mango sauce has been requested.

Going to pick up plastic forks, knives and paper towels at SAMS later today, anything else we might need from SAMS?

Excellent!

<mother hen>
Be sure they know exactly where we are and that they have a good contact phone number so they don't end up driving in circles somewhere. Unlike the local pizza delivery guys, they're probably not really familiar with the area.

Important note: The course map and event instructions are available on the website and have been for some time. Therefore, I'm not wasting the time and the paper to print copies of the course map. If you want a map, BRING IT!

There will be a map and a set of instructions posted publicly, but no copies for hand-out.

See y'all in the morning!

Make sure you're over USRDA for riboflavin tonight, so you can get the maximum rush out of the time warp.

Be ready for rain, folks. I'm hoping it will be minor, but I expect we'll see some at some point during the day.

The good news is that you and your opponent are always on exactly the same course in exactly the same conditions. Good stuff!

Loren, I'm looking around feverishly for a map and I can't find it. I've checked MAE and I've looked around here...

Is anyone awake who can tell me where this bad boy is?
