Sweet, I'd appreciate it, although it certainly won't hurt my feelings if I don't get to. I should be there long enough in the AM to have it teched before I head out. Planning on being back early enough so I can take at least some photos and get a ride along to see the course. 8)

As long as it has passed tech, you can take your last run in whatever you want.
Happy to see you get to enjoy at least some of the fun, pitty it isn't in a 'fun' vehicle.

Well, depends on how you describe fun...cause she certainly is, just not as much in the twisties as say, my vette. I think you'll be surprised at how nibble this big dude is.

SPC FORMS

We'll have them on site, but if you want to print them out ahead of time and make registration a little simpler (yes, you do) then here's the links:

Waiver

Registration form

You'll need them both, and please print 'em back to back on the same paper (run it through your printer, then flip it over and run it through again for the other one).

Have a small problem, need to take Zuzy for a bithday party at 1:30.

Any chance I can run in the first group and leave around 1:30 ??
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!

Correct. Bags, with a 4-link in the rear. Handles really well for 5,000+ lbs

As the new keeper of the registration box (and holder of the SPC gate key), I will take this spot. I need the practice, and I will be the first one there.

If you're not in the mood to do it I can take that responsibility from you. Let me know!

Since I'm going to be the new full-time event registration toady/ keeper of the box/ assistant treasurer, I was planning to shadow Brian and Keith anyway. So this is the perfect opportunity for me to learn first hand.
