WAAAAA HHHHOOOOOO!

Count old man Painter in! Man, I am ready to leave now! I can't wait to see everyone again. Two years is a long time.

Hey I am about out of Depends!

Can someone bring me a pair so I can change and make it more than one lap without coming in to pee? Doc? Anyone?



Jim

Halltech

Please pee first before driving my car this year. I have two eyes this year, so I will be out on the track. Look out, I am a drag racer not a road racer, but this year, you can train me like a puppy so I don't pee myself.

AutobahnRacer

Nice effort on the part of Katech to bring this event back to Autobahn CC.

I'M IN . . . if for no other reason than to keep an eye on Newlander!

Jason, thanks for offering me an instructor position again.

Only 6-months to go!

RichieRichZ06

Damn, this would be a great event to come to. Is there a Hertz rental near by that stocks the ZHZ rentals?

Katech_Zach

You should come! Someone who will remain nameless once rented a V6 Camaro and brought it to the event.

RichieRichZ06

I thought about towing, but I just looked and it's 2,053 miles EACH way from my house to Joliet.

Pfadt Racing

hmmm...I think we got a ride to the airport in that car one time a couple of years ago...not sure all of the wheels were on it...

Everett Ogilvie

Someone has to.......

kentz06

In the famous words of Alfred E Newman (or was it Newlander)...

"What, me worry?"

Can you handle a visit from a Left Coast instructor again?

Dean

Katech_Zach

Dean I sent you a couple emails but they bounced. Send me an email if you have a new address. jason@katechengines.com

LOL well damn looks like we are leaving on her family vacation that saturday the 28th i am so damn sad that i cant make it this year words cant explain! : Of course we just planned this vacation last weekend go figure!!!! i will have to make it up and try to make it out to where you guys live to visit!

Amy is like well you can go but you can tell my parents you are going to that race event instead of family vacation, well you know who i have to live with all year so i dont think it would be worth hearing about it for a lifetime... or would it....
