I'm pretty clueless about soft drinks. I thought I was being clever with the Pepsi and Mountain Dew. This ex-bartender would have gotten coke, sprite, and ginger and left it at that. I will grab some cherry coke. I'm going to go ahead and get some foam plates while I'm at GFS, if we don't use them this time, we will have them in the trailer for next time.

I bought:

10 35-packs of .5 liter water bottles for 350 bottles. I'm going to pick up two or three more packs.
6 cases of soft drinks- coke, diet coke, sprite, pepsi, mountain dew
I'll snag 8-10 bags of ice on the way in Sat.

Anything else?

Thanks.
Sorry John, I forgot to warn you about the cherry cokes. Other than that, I think we're all set.

'bout 3 or 4 or so. Of course, once you've done your work assignment, you can go whenever. Hanging out 'til the very end and helping clean up is a great way to make friends!

Shiny! Well spinning out is a part of the learning process. My first event at SPC was spin free, brooksville the next month I swear my car thought it was a top! ;-) Don't get upset if you spin just learn from it and enjoy the ride!

I look forward to seeing you all again this weekend.

For some of our regulars, we wonder what's wrong if they don't spin.

Supplies are loaded in and ready to roll. 446 half-liter waters and 168 12 oz. soft drinks. Got the Cherry Coke and some root beer so there should be a flavor for everybody.

See y'all in St. Pete!

Dammit! Somebody put extra gasoline in my car. That's an extra 40 pounds I've got to drag around.

Hell, when I drive the vette, I have to make sure I top off at the gas station around the corner to make sure she's FULL! :lol:

I'm in the same boat! I hate autocrossing with 7/8 of a tank of fuel! But, I didn't feel like driving to Daytona for dinner, so I guess I'll deal with it.

I tried to find one on harborfrieght.com but their site wasn't cooperating. :roll: Say, I can grab one at walmart tomorrow and I'll be happy to let you siphon gas right into my truck. LOL

Glad you guys had a good time!
Special tire sauce saves 3 hundreths of a second? I hope the sauce is cheap!
