TWS on 3/12-3/13 - Who's going?
I should be there. The main question is whether I'm on my R6s that I want to sell, or on some nice new pimpy (used) Pirelli slicks ;-) Come on Lou, help me get those outer barrels here fast!!!

I'll probably be there but as a spectator. I'm still trying to get over shoulder surgery. 
I hope to be back in action in April.

Are you thinking you'll be running MSR-H in April?

I opted for the DE that coincides with the PCA race weekend the following week at TWS. 3 days of DE at a bargain price (and most importantly...you get a free T-shirt !)

My Pirelli D2 GA slicks showed up today 
The weather forecast is for amazing weather. Lows in the mid 50's, highs in the low 70's. Anyone contemplating it, come join the party 
I'll be in the black C6Z, #71 in red group.

Bill, been there done that. You've got more discipline that me. When I had my shoulder surgery, I got bored and decided to replace the suspension bushings in my C4. Last year, when I had a broken arm, I got stir crazy and autocrossed the Z. I just can't sit on the sidelines

I'd sure like to make MSRH, but I'm not sure if the shoulder will let me. It's getting better but I'll just have to wait and see. Right now I'm targeting the event at TWS on the last weekend of April.

Dang, how did you do all that work? I still can't raise my arm more than about half way up. I want to get under my car and replace all the fluids but can't do it yet.

I know how slow the recovery can feel, and it helps that I had my surgery when I was 21. Just take all of the caster out of the front to lighten the steering

I found out how much I could really do one-handed, and when I hit that limit, I offered up beer to friends to help out
Going down that path this weekend. My job is to be sure the beer is ALWAYS at the proper temp. I don't know any way to do this other than constant taste testing and sampling!

Wish i could go, i haven't been to TWS yet but its on my list to go there. I usually run with the Driver's Edge here in Cresson, but TWS i hear is so much fun. Ill get down there eventually. For a local replacement i am doing the MSR Cresson event with NASA.

Sorry we're going to miss you. TWS is a blast. High speed, but technical at the same time. You THINK you've turned a fast lap, but there are so many places to shave time because there is so much high speed track.
