Maybe next year the track event could be Sun/Mon (Memorial Day) -- then I'd try to go to the Monday event after driving home from Hawthorne. (3 straight days of racing!)

I don't think anyone would come if I had an event on Memorial Day. Most of us bribe the signifigant other into going to the weekend event in return for doing chores on the holiday. :D That's kinda why I picked that particular weekend. It also means less money lost for missing work, as Memorial Day for many of us is a paid holiday.

By the way . . . we might be able to extend the event and take Memorial Day too, if it is availabe and if there is enough interest. :)

Like I said, if my wallet agrees... I dunno about you guys, but $400 can be a little steep for me some months, when I haven't been saving to spend it.

MPREZIV . . . we do have payment plans . . . not usually, but contact me and I can work something out for ya. All ya gotta do is ask. :)

I'll be there instructing.

Bonni puts on great events, I highly recommend coming out. The instruction is pretty good too. ;)

Yeah . . . whatever you do, get a ride along with Dean BEFORE lunch. Lol. Just kidding. :D Glad to have you with us Dean.

Well crap, if Dean's going, then I'm in 99%. Dean's too much fun to chase around the track, and he's never running in my group at the trials events.

We've got a wagon from the I-Club list coming, too. Looks like the Subies will be the dominant marquee for this event again. :)

I've done two of these events and Bonnie does an awesome job. If you can make it definately do it. RFR is really fun.

You should bring the new car out...

I'd really like to get the C4 out there. The 335 would be fun, but I have no tires for tracking it. Lately my fun budget has been absorbed by music and of course, the IRS!

Ahhh . . . so what goodies did you buy music-wise? New amps? Mics? Get better-paying gigs and come join us. :D

If I can get the time off I will be there.... but I always have trouble getting time off.

Just quote the Blues Brothers, legasti. Tell your boss, "We're on a mission from God." Yeah, that should work. :D

Yes everything - unfortunately for me (fortunate for the rest of the world) it is a hobby, so money only goes out.

Maybe we can set something up where you can play at the track. Wait, no electricity. Dang it. Well, when they do get electricity, maybe we can pay you to come out and play for us at lunch or something. You really should charge something. :)

There's electricity, as long as they remember to start the generator!

Oh yeah . . . DUH Bonni. You're right, I fogot about the generator. I have a bigger laptop this year (17" widescreen) too, so we'll plug it in so that you can stare at the track map during downloads again. :)

You are too kind Bonster! Before I can track again, I really need to decide which car and mod appropriately. The 335XI would definately need a track wheel/tire set and the C4 would need a roll bar. C4 would probably be the less expensive endeavor as they run around $800 and still allow the top to operate! Either one would also require something very,very,very nice for the wife or I will also need to make the car my bed!

Why don't you just invite your wife to play at the track with you? That might solve everything! Lol.

Priorities, man... just sell the house! After all, you can sleep in the car, but you can't race the house.

Well the wife is definately not into tracking, so I don't think bringing her along would really help much. Don't worry Scott, I won't show my wife your post!

:lol:

I sometimes wonder if my GF checks up on me over here...

um... hi honey! :wave:

I guess I got REALLY lucky . . . my fiance actually ENCOURAGES my track / race stuff. Or maybe he's just buttering me up for the next time he wants to buy some expensive electronic geek-squad gizmo. Lol. I told him I'm fine with a 54" flat screen (wall hung) 1080 LED tv as long as I get some new tires and rims out of the deal. We'll get along famously! Lol. :D
