Still working up the map for this one. Will have it in a couple weeks.

It will probably be some variation of "slalom out, turn around, slalom back". Just a guess. 8-)

Please make sure It's a one person worker post for "the suggestor" during his work heat. Otherwise we all have to drive the same course.

OR since after all this is the "Finale" maybe a lemon twist would go better in the heat? With a cube or two to make it cool?

Chicago boxes...lemon twists (that's a new element!).
Sorry I'm going to miss this one.

I don't know whether to battle it out with S1 Randy (no contest to prove a point) or Stefan (tie for second)? Or to battle to the death with Dave in S2 for 4th place and totally screw with those who thought they had locks on a finish? And you people thought the season is all over :lol: What if Dave and I ran in M2? That would be even more interesting. It's all about a T Shirt and your ego's.

Might even be shopping for a white Civic? :grin:

Bumper covers? Like Teflon? Crocheted? You cannot blame your tires for knocking off your cone covers. Can you? BTW. Thank you for finding out why my RX8 was 1/3 down on power when you showed up short a lugnut at PCA :lol:

You know where you can stuff your station and your Frickin' Chicago Box. Hope there will be a Lemon Twist. Wait until you see what happens at the Finale. You will be amazed.

Reality? You really need to invite Andrew to co-drive with you in S1 with my S2 Mazda with #119 and #191. I need $10 under my right wiper in PM to seal the deal. I will run the same car S2 #19 and will kick your asses or pay you $10 each when you lose to me. Leave your race cars at home. Andrew knows the story. Andrew is cool. You need to learn. Let me know when you are both signed up. I need to deal with others in S2.
