Dad: ANDREW! What are you doing?!
Me (Cig in one hand and Bud Light in the other): Breakfast!
Dad: You don't need that crap, you need water!
Me: We ran OUT of water, this is the closest thing I could find!
Dad: What's that in your hand??
Me: It's a beer!
Dad: NO! Your other hand! You're SMOKING, Andrew!
Me: Well if you knew what it was why did you ask??
Dad: Your mom is going to kill me....
Me: So don't tell her!

The 944Fest is fully supportive and appreciative of family bonding moments.
LOL! I remember that! wasn't that one of MY cigarettes?

According to you and Mom I work on my drinking with a couple bottles a night! As for exercise, you could say I've started my own exercise program of late. How else could I have lost 20 lbs? Besides blow?

We have great instructors (that ride along) and a classroom setting to start the novice group.

Plus, everyone looks like gramma Jones their first time. The trick is to look like gramma Jones with some viagra in her pocket.

Oh and Sunday August 3rd is the last day to sign up for the track. I have to have a complete list in to NASA on the 4th.
For those of you waiting until the last second to sign up... please do it just a little sooner to make things easier for me or you may find a lump of coal in your sponsor goody bag.

Folks, this is Mid-Ohio - one of the best tracks in the country. Any potential DE folks who are on the fence need to consider the opportunity that is available to you. Check out the threads over in the DE forum like this one -

For those who have spent some time there, how is MO on tires? I've got two mounted sets of RA1's that have entered their perfect zone (ie. down to the double grooves), and debating whether I need to order another set.
