We should have a relatively large T1 field there! It will be a great triple header weekend.

Wow, just over a month away. One nice thing about the West Coast: no off-seaon . I've been busting my butt the past couple weeks trying to get all my winter wrenching done. Still have a week to go, then back out to the track in Dec.
