I hear he is assigned to whoever has spun out at previous 'fests.

ANNOUNCEMENT to non-track participants- Anyone who wants a ride on track will need to have long pants and real shoes. No shorts, sandals, flip flops, etc. Skip Wolfe or I will need to approve all track rides. (Novice students can ride with instructors)

Dan, as for Thursday grill, that is a tricky one, best bring backup. Joe (the track cook) is loaning us his big grill to cook our own burgers and dogs Friday eve. (I need 3 big bags of charcoal-who wants to help me out?) As for Thursday eve I don't have permission to use it. I left one there last year, is it still there? who knows.

there is an autozone like 8 miles away, a napa like 9 miles away, a avanced auto parts 12 miles away. Im not sure where at, but i just searched on the store websites, put in nelson ledges address and it came up, so if you want to know the exact locations then i would probably do that

If you head east (RT) on 305 out of the track and east (RT) on 422, you'll be in Warren within 10-12 miles, you won't have a problem finding an autozone there.

Thanks for the offer, Andrew. I was thinking someone would arrive Thursday and then go buy some, so it did not take up valuable space in the hatch for their drive in, but if you want to import Michigan coal that is great with me! You have got the job, Thanks!
