MUUUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHHHHHHAAAAA
Thanks for making me feel good.
Bring rains b/c if it's wet you're driving (and so am I).

Dude, at this point I would drive if it was the blizzard of '94.

I'll have 2 sets of R888R's and 1 set of Hoosiers. I'm an all weather driver. Gonna take more than a little weather to keep me off the track at this point.

Let's just hope this one happens. My gut is telling me Cuomo won't let this one happen either, but one can hope.

Maybe he's to busy killing the elderly to care about racetracks being open? (Admins, Feel free to delete this post if it's too political, and I'm sorry if it is).

Bring it on Metro!!!

I know I know. Hope is about all it is at this point.

BTW, I'm so fast, I caught the post, the edit, the re-edit, and the re-post before I even knew what was going on. (For the record, the "stake in the heart" seemed more appropriate.)

If only I was that fast on the track....

I told you not to call me cupcake in public. That's for private time.

Ugh. Well that is a huge bummer. I hadn't seen that yet. Wasn't looking forward to driving to Utah from NY, so that's my only consolation.

Peter

Chin drivers meetings will now be virtual. Classes will be live streamed. There are a number of other changes that you can read about here http://thechinforum.com/forum/event-...vid-safe-event There is also information about how in car instructing will be handled.

Yeah, Anthony, and those not being until September isn't a good look going forward.
That IS a pretty loooong haul, though....

In completely un-shocking news you can add Zone 1 club race to the cancelled list.

Well that F-ing blows! In my heart of hearts I knew it was going to get cancelled but I was clinging to a small hope we would pull it off.

At least we'll be saving some lives.
