Eric in Chicago

Skip, most of the local HWFM team will be at Gman on Friday for test and tune, looking forward to seeing you there!
John, did anyone tell you the showers were only cold water??? It will be nice to finaly meet you.

Grasshopper, er, Dave, As you may be aware, PCA has a very intensive selection process for its mentor program, you will be getting the best advice this side of free. I hope to impart the wisdom of: letting all red 944 cars pass (with a point), the tradition of the rookie changing the mentors tires and brake pads as needed,helping block the faster cars for the mentor, and the most important duty of a rookie, the procurment of large amounts of cold beer at the end of the day.

Mike, sorry I forgot about you, my game face is on already. If I dont think about you, it will easier for me to blow by you without sympathy. I hope Eurosport found that wrench the lost in your engine bay...

Pay no attention to the fact that your engine now looks like a 924's.

It's the special mod I paid Eurosport to install to help you "Blow" by me.

John
Looking forward to finally meeting. I'm 71, Jeff is 61, Eric is 400 (all numbets chosen to reflect our lap times in seconds). Not sure of Dave's #

We'll either be under the trees at the north end of the paddock, or close to the Eurosport Brink's truck, errr trailer.

Skip

Afrter this weekend there will be no hope. You future savings are in jeopardy

John H

my number 21 is in minutes. I have never been there before so I am looking forward to trying to keep up with you guys to learn the line. See ya bright and early Friday morning.

Mike in Chi

lol

Well with a D car you'll have to watch the Celebrity Turtle Death Match between Eric and Moi from the sidelines, John

However, you will have the notorious Nicki King (aka "100 Pounds Of Mean") of Fat Dog Racing to contend with in D

OOOHHHH, it is going to ge a good weekend. While I will be the slowest car on the track for my race, watching the F-troops run is going to be great. I can already hear the excuses as to why Joey Bagadonuts got by Eric, Mike, Dave, Doug and all of the rest of you.....

Dave, when Eric comes out of the trailer with oil or wax in his hand (two of his favorites for a multitude of purposes) and a s#@t eatin' grin.........run...run far and fast!

Jeff,
Perhaps a side bet on which one of our mentor'es will finish ahead of each other (or ahead of me!!)

JoeMag

Hey Eric -- Good to hear from ya! Actually the request was for the NASA event mid July, not the club race this weekend. First time at the track so I'll be just trying to learn my way around without getting in the way too much.

Betting on Club Racing! Why didn't we think of this earlier! Do we want to bet on the winner of the race or who does the fastest tire changes or buys the best beer?

Here are the match ups:

Joe vs. Dave
Eric vs. Mike
Doug vs. Chris
Bill vs. Ruther
I'll go against Nicki but get some time for the class difference.

Joe, you won't have any problem learning the track. It is easier and safer than Putnam. Are you set on doing Gingerman w/NASA instead of Putnam w/PCA that weekend? Norm, Paul and Rick are all doing Putnam PCA....

JoeMag

Hi Jeff -- Thanks for the followup, however I think I'm going to do Gingerman though. Good luck at Putnam.

--Joe

Dave in Chicago

Well, I let Eric down on the side bet in the Sprint... Do I get extra credit for the Enduro?

Great weekend. Thanks to all my friends in PCA and fellow turtle-ponder's!
