I remember you Rick from a few years back. It was a domestic vs import event and someone hit your Z06 in the pits. I think back then you swore you would never race an import vs domestic event again.

Anyway I am an E'town regular. If you need any help in the pits just look me up. I will be racing the Corvette Challenge on Saturdays and Street ET on Sundays.

Hope you are feeling better.

Come out on the 15th of March. There will be a Corvette Challenge non points race. I believe you will be able to sign up at the track.

Or you could sign up here. http://www.racewaypark.com/main/08events/Perm2008.pdf

Hey Ric of course I remember you. Glad to see you are well enough to race again. You can sign up for points at the track. I would imagine you will need someone to get you the application or you can print it, fill it out and someone can go up to the tower with it for you.

Not sure what your handicap is but the last lane if rarely used by our racers so if you chose that one you will be close to the front where the there are benches and rest rooms.

I Will try to download the form not to swift with computers. I had congestive heart failure, it took a few hospital stays in boston then in connecticut before they figured out that my liver was bad and was causing most of the problems. I am not able to walk to far without shortness of breath, but can drive fine. John P remember I told you I had lost my edge? I had no idea I was going off a cliff at the time hope to see you guys the 15th. Now if I can figuer out how to use the nav in the car it will be easer
