Bump for March weather here in the great state of Minnesota!!! With 13 people signed up now. MN racers have to show support to keep racing in this state We had a 10+ years of no racing here, I would rather not see that happen again

I've been spreading the word. Have recruited a few. By now I think the local vette people are aware of it. Maybe try working that Rice Killer crowd & get them off the streets. You probably already have. I wish it was possible to run the full track 1 day. It might draw in more Nasa regulars with fastest track in the country.

Wish I could make it up to MN. Maybe with some floats and a paddle the Z could make the trip from Ohio...

Isn't that what you eat everyday? Just my horrible attempt of being funny.

Hi Randy,

I would attend if it were closer, but San Diego?

Anyway here's a crazy thought. See if you can get a racer/techy guy to podcast the event or maybe just tape it & then edit & throw it up on youtube.

I think it would be great exposure for DRM & I know you are a big ham at heart.

Seriously.

Ok, I do eat at Subway almost everyday, but how did that become common knowledge?

You told me a long time ago. I have a strange memory for stupid things sometimes.

Anymore local forums that you know about?

I am writing to inform you that the Winter Driver Clinic Clinic and Open House scheduled for this Saturday at Doug Rippie Motorsports has been postponed.

If you signed up there is a email heading your way. If not please don't show up as our shop is closed on Saturdays.

Randy
