Default HWFMR Road America Who's gonna be there

So....



I'll be there making sure that all inept moments will be captured for future ridicule.


If you aren't there, I'm sorry. It will be lots of fun.

Where is everyone staying too?

I wish. I had a co-drive offer in an old Fabcar chassis car, but it fell through.

Well, you could use the 500 bucks Frank is sending you to get a ticket up here and ***** yourself out.

I'll be there, but not droving. I may bring cookies, however!

Bummer for us, we couldn't get a room at the Osthoff, so we'll be schlepping in from Sheboygan.

Well, for the second year in a row, I flaked on Mike at the last minute. Last year it was an appendectomy, this year and employee decided to conduct a Darwin test. No serious injury but it involved inspecting the fluid level of a waste oil tank with a lighter - kind of messed up my ability to get away from my business so soon.

Give them a call and see if you can get on a wait list. Sometimes they will have something open up right at the end. That happened for me at the ALMS/ChampCar race. 4 days prior to the race I got a call saying that they had an open room. For a mere 500 bucks a night I could have had a very nice suite.

Joe, make sure you have the lens set on super slow motion, you can capture the pass I plan to put on Mike in T5

Should we have another thread for RA smack talk????

I will be there, look for the "Welcome to the Turtle Pond" banner hanging off a Red Haulmark trailer. I hope to have a spot in the main paddock, just down the street from the CS motorsports compound.

No problem Mark. Despite all odds and the best efforts of a Darwin candidate, at least your business is still standing.

One of these years, we'll run together.

As I recall, my pass of you began in T5 last year, then up the hill and was completed at track out of 6. Do you remember that? I believe it can be repeated.

I'm on the wait list, so we'll see if that gets me anywhere! They had rooms for every night but Saturday...
