Don't let FN be the largest class in the Late session again guys. S2 is well on it's way to biggest actual class in the morning. M2 is always hungry. Everyone wants a piece out of Eva and Drew. Sign up early and don't get left with a scowl on your face. :whine:

Starting to fill up quickly. 15 registrations over the past two days (and it's only noon today). Be sure you're registered. Pester your friends to get registered. Once it's full, it's full! 64/108 right now.

M2 = 14

What Steve means is he's scheduled shoulder surgery and is wearing a lower back brace after driving the Fastiva 16 times. I empathize. That's a rough rider.

I hope everybody is in! We're at 49 for the Early Session and 44 for the Late Session. 54 is the max. I wouldn't be surprised if this event was sold out before Tuesday.

If we are over capacity for drivers in the morning session, I can give up my slot as a driver to coach or ride along with new drivers during the morning session.

Which means both Joe and Sara lean less in a Cam Ray than anyone in Philip's "thing".

Joe you can take a couple "instructor" runs in whatever car I end up bringing if you don't run in the morning. I need the experience.

Memo to Tony:

No need to offer "freebies" this event. The end of times race for 2nd place for the season in S0 will require you to leave your car on "quiet". Or the old man next door will put out your lights. I don't know whether to end your run with an S2 car on gummies or an S1 car on ever lasting gobstoppers? You will have to wait until you get home and see Loren's posted results. I get it. You like to be in first place so you run alone in the morning session. Ken and Sam or no Ken and Sam it's you and me bro'.

**I have spent no money or time on my cars in the last 3 months. Are you liking those payments that keep popping up out of the console in that new Porsche?

Jamie and Philip have a good thing going in S4 too. They will both probably beat S0.

Might not have the BRZ for this event ( son is driving it now) but I'll debut the new daily or borrow/steal a BRZ

Need that 5th event in M2.. Congrats to Drew for the season title! I couldn't make enough events to put any real pressure on him
