Well it looks like my trans might have detonated on me, so I don't know what my future holds at the moment.

What the heck do you know about high speed driving?

gingerman test

How do we go about getting signed up.Or do we just pay the guy at 8 1/2 when we get there the entry fee to run that day. and can I reserve one of those metal covered awnings I used one last time it sure helped to keep the sun off your back and cool the car between sessions.

Be there or be... a triangle!! (oh wait what am I saying, triangles are cool!)

I will try and bring my video gear and get some shots from the tower or center hill. I don't have an extreme zoom lens or anything, but I think I can probably get some cool shots from somewhere.. and naturally I will be able to host the video somewhere for download like last time..

PLUS unlike that A-Spec BBQ I made it out to.. you guys can go fast, but I doubt I will loose you in traffic like I did last time.. cause in the end we all end up back at the same place!

I have a friend who used to have an RX-7 back in the way back.. when his mechanic looked at his blown engine he said "your scrape-ers are bad" :p

Ok folks.

So I need two things (more so from those in the Chicagoland area then elsewhere).

Nic...I'll call you Thursday to figure out where and when to pick you up.

1. Confirmation of who's coming.

I know those who've said they'll go have marked the poll, but you know how things change around here.

2. Those who want/need to stay down here to make it easier on them.

Here's my #...708-288-8762. Call me no later than Wed afternoon at 4 to let me know if you're looking to crash here.

Again, we're going to leave at 7. That's AM! If we're a little late because of whatever's going on here, then that's ok, but anyone not here already, we're not waiting.

In addition, I'm keeping a close eye on the weather. With Katrina, that could realy screw things up here.

So far, of course, it's gonna be shitty, but that far ahead, who knows.

So remember, helmet, pants, closed shoes, and the common sense stuff.

Hope to see you all out there!

Christian

Talked to you last night. I'll be there for sure.

By the way Christian, I could not sleep last night because your car has ruined my life. But what the hell, now we can go to a race track and have timed official confirmation that my car is slow. Thanks alot. I am going to go cry now.
