Where is everyone at, still in a holiday food coma? I'm excited for this one as I finally have the car up and running on Megasquirt, thanks to Stephen Hewitt.

Now I just need to "fine tune" it a little before the event. 🤤[emoji23]

Well, that's kinda lame. If everybody waits to see if somebody else is going to register, then nobody registers. Be the trendsetter, Randy! You can be the first! (it's not like you can't cancel, as long as you do so before registration closes)

Ready to get back to it! Will be getting the car aligned and corner balanced on the 9th so this will be my first event on the new suspension. Should be interesting if anything.

It would suck to only get 2 pts for winning an "I" class but one could always run in a higher class and mess their points up instead :cool: Especially if one is FTD on occassion. That could get really interesting in the year end points. Stock car winning M is kind of a Drew thing and certainly fun to watch.

M4 is just great.

As of this moment, there are just 4 openings left in the Late Session. The Early Session is a little looser.

Thankfully Philip stopped poking the Voodoo doll he has of me... The last two events I've had horrible stomach flu and I'm looking forward to getting back into it!

Looks like a fun, fast, short course. And Lord please have mercy on the course workers at stations 5 and 6!

Oh, is that what he left in my car at the last event? I gave it to the dogs as a toy.... :twisted:
