There is also a small band of local wrenches who can be rallied to resolve all sorts of issues!

anything to get someone else to the fest!

Never been but will probably try to attend this year with my 90 S2 cab. I have a 35 ft motor home I would like to stay in is there a place to park it there. I will need to find a way to get the car there as I do not have a trailer. I live on the North side of Columbus so it would not be too bad to get somebody to drive the Porsche up while I drive the Motor home. Anybody going from the Columbus area?

They have plenty of area in the infield. And I am sure some one will volunteer to drive your car.

Tom-

I live close to Columbus and will be heading up, usually thursday night or early friday morning. I would be more than happy to caravan with you. I'm sure others will also want to as it gets closer to the event.

Just make sure to position the motor home away from the fire pit!

and keep the paint markers away from the motor home (or at least rock away from the paint markers)..

Is there going to be another giveaway car this year?

With the twists and turns my life has taken in the last year, I am really looking forward to getting away from everything for a couple of days...

I now have a mental picture of Rock in the passenger seat of the RV going sidways through a field...

Perhaps we can hide the RV behind the shack at the far side of the track?
