I have a note from your buddies in E2 to help you on Sunday: from the start, proceed to Station 1 and park the car for exactly one minute, then go directly to the finish lights...no need to bother yourself with all those pesky cones in between. They're confident that will help avoid any confusion.
Nah, don't be silly. He just needs to remember to stop and look both ways at each crossover.

Hey Chris, saw your youtube link on HORRC, looks good. At least I will know someone there :D

Sure I will bring my camera, think 1:1 scale will be much easier then 1:10 scale lol
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!

Works for me, I think.

I got Saturday's deal -- meet Steve at ______ (time) to drop off trailer. However, I am a little muddy as to what is going on Monday for pick-up. Sometimes I just need to be pointed in the correct direction and told what to do...

Wireless timer testing at my place Saturday afternoon (10/6) if anyone is bored.

Gonna set it up to test a reasonable distance with obstacles (cars, trees, whatever), and do some reliability and consistency testing. Have a pair of scooters on stand-by to run laps!

Timing gurus, timing guru wannabe's, and hecklers are welcome.

I was told we have 6 cases of water and 2 12pks of soda (Pepsi and Diet Pepsi, I believe).
Anyone know different?

Add a 4-pack of high-quality 9v batteries to the shopping list. (Duracell or Energizer) Might as well start keeping our supply.

Me and the wife are signed up for E2 is it possible that we run in 2 different run groups? She's going to need help and it would be easier for me just to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Are we going to have room for walk ups? I have a friend that wants to go, he's just waiting on finding out if he has to work Sunday.

As of yet, we've never turned away a walkup. But there could always be a first time...

The key to guaranteeing a walkup position is to be one of the first on the list...show up early!

Aaaaand, be around when registration closes to CLAIM the spot that you're on the list for. If you're not around, it'll go to the next guy on the list!
