I just won't be able to give Eric sh*t about beating him for another straight year


Mike,
Stare into my Avatar... Sorry I wont be able to make it this year, 1st time in 6 yrs... I am going to try and sneak up for a day to watch the great battles.
Mike this is the year to get Chris, his engine is tired, yours is fresh, I can always stop by his pits and "help" him

Just back from Eurosport, 4 cars going to Mn this weekend.

The Americ-inn (or is it america-inn) is clean, cheap, and consistent. It's 5 minutes away...

Of course Siebkins and the Osthoff are nice, but you will pay for it!

I'm sure Eurosport is bringing a truck to Brainerd. They always do. Our numbers are down this year though. We could sure use another 15 or 20 cars. We're actually going to have 4 races. One enduro, 2 sprints and one of those backwards deals. It's a heck of a bargin.

See you at RA.

I'm an occasional Chicagoan now. The Daley machine pays me to show up and vote

PM when you're coming to Chicago. Hopefully our visits will overlap. Otherwise, see you at Siebkens.

the Brainerd weekend sounds great. No way I can make it unfortunately.

I'm staring at your avatar. I'm thinking that is from three years ago at Putnam.

I'm also thinking you've lost all short term memory, or at least any memory of Turns five and six 11 months ago. Do you need a link to the results sheet?


I of course would be grateful for any help you can give Chris. And will take back anything I said above if you do a really good job of helping Chris.

Tuning?????? Bullcrap.

I saw the results from Putnam. Did you podium two or three times?????

How can you be my arch-nemesis if I can't see you up ahead?

(But congrats on those terrific finishes)

Most nights everyone shows up at Siebkens (which is across the street from the Osthoff) at some point.

And as was stated don't miss the drive from the track to Siebkens on Sat nite.
We are escorted by the local constabulary along the old race course around Elkhart Lake at speeds that approach the old racers'.

Best Western in Chilton. Nice and cheap. A short drive to Appleton where there are good restaurant and college bars. Either one appeals to most people.

Tell you what Mark...

You get to drive the Turtle Car Sat Nite on the old course, as a warm-up to Sunday afternoon. I think we'll be going faster than 12 mph in both instances.

And the reest of the board can read between the lines on that one...

I'll drive it back from Siebkens in the dark, since the lights no longer function well.

Cool. Yes, I expect to exceed 12mph. On the way back, I will close my eyes, just like I do on the track, and tell you where to turn.

Hey! Did I miss the start of the RA trash talkin'!

Dave will be there with a freshly fixed transaxle. Man, do I need to ditch the stock exhaust system!

Looking forward to seeing friends up there, old and new...
