Yea, if my car is still together after CMP weekend after next.

There should be a good turnout of ST2 cars. Wally, Paul Kaiser, Tony Johnson, Mac McCombs, Ryan, Ross, me, you and some Subi's that show up occasionally.

The subies will be there this year again. I have a bet with a guy up here that a vette will beat a NASTY subie from up north.

considering my car looks like this right now:



I might not make it, but I'm going to try like hell to be there

Oh Hell! I was looking at the Jan calendar when I saw posted that.:o

You don't think I'd do that to throw eveyone off and leave me a clear track, do you?
