Patches and I will get into town on Thursday also. Do you know if we can drop off our cars/trailer? Do we tech our car like we do with NASA or what?

They better decide quick before it sells out...they are missing a ton of track time and the opportunity to lap Khoi 5 or 6 times per session...

Where are you staying Thursday night....and what about the accusump??

Highly unlikely you can get in on Thursday to drop trailers - do not plan on it. If we get there Thursday night I will sleep outside the gate or crash on a generous friend...

Fill out your tech form/medical form before hand from the website. Josh and I will probably be working tech there....under the tech shed...

The track will not be open Thursday night.

I cannot make it down until Friday 7am, and from what I have heard from the other people who asked - track management will not be there Thursday night to have the gate open.

Sorry about that, when I finish this school stuff (December) I should be able to come down and have a Thursday gate.

Yeah..."costed" similar to the use of "run" in past tense. For example, "You runned off at T5 in a big cloud of sand". Yeah, I know....intestinal fortitude Can't cut me some slack at 1am after being woken up twice by the d*mn pager again just to troubleshoot some circuit connection to some nowhere location... Sorry, I vent.

As for CMP, I can't say that you've taught me all my off-roading skills. but I may have picked up some on my own But what I have learned oh master sensei is your cheap....urhmm I mean frugal and efficient use of pads. This was from VIR couple weeks ago. The CMP ones looked like these also if I recall

Grasshopper, you have learned to get all that can be gotten from your pads I only dish it to you cause you can take it .... You know I bury myself in the sand one time (it was a MAGNIFICANT spin I might add) and I am known as the sandman

JD - Hey if dinner is all it takes to get you signed up it is cheap at 1/2 the price.....

Nobody, in their right mind, would try to keep you supplied in beer...

I thought you were signed up

Yep, I got spaces open.

Though, you guys have kinda caused a rush the last couple of days.. not a bad thing

The entry list is looking like a Corvette-BMW day (have a half-dozen or so Spec E30 cars coming in as well)

"unlearned" you are assuming he is teachable and I was capable of teaching anyone, anything ....

I would prefer to come down Thursday night if we can work it into our schedule.....

Josh should be getting some Fiesta and ZO6 SeatTime on Friday....he will be getting some seattime towing the car trailer also!

All the Spec E30 is the Patton influence....we have pushed this "pre-day" hard over in NASA-SE

Guys, guys....no need to fight over me. There's plenty of spin left in me for those brave enough to sit in the right seat On a serious note though, I wouldn't mind the opportunity to "try" to keep up with ya'll at Roebling at least for a lap or two. Would help me speed up my pace there.

Butt Ugly is going to see delimit of what it can do.. 1:18.x that will be tough - but I guess I will just need to put Jake in the seat...
