Not sure if I'll be up Friday evening or Sat morning. But I'll for sure have the beer. Just tasted it an hour ago. The Pale Ale was pretty darn good. The Wheat wasn't too bad but will get better with age.

Who is running the event this year? I need to bug them so I can get on the corners and shoot pictures again this year.

I'll be there as well flailing away with all the other F'ers. MRW...too bad you won't be there but we'll be sure to do a special champagne toast for you. I was going to get by with old rocks for tires but thinking about what you will be dropping this weekend I'm in for a new set every session!

Next year we need to register as Hey Wait For Me Racing and we'll have the biggest damn parking spot in the land!

If we're planning on dinners...Schwartz's Friday and Bruces Sunday or visa versa but we had better give them a call with head counts.

Thanks Eric, I just sent him a message.

Also on the same note as Jeff, If anyone has reservations somewhere on Saturday night that they aren't using I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I was a bit late on the reservation thing because I've been busy being lazy.

I will be at the track this afternoon to help Chris and Tim Green with parking. I've cleaned the fridge out of all my sons' beers -- Colorado Kool-Aid to Corona Light to Stella. That is if anyone needs to rehydrate after getting set up.

Full-Disclosure:

Well Eric has loaded up for the Enduro with the notorious Glenn Gatlin as Co-drover. So I had to reload as well. Yes, it's The Tortoise and The Hare Redux -- Michael Benet will be returning to the Turtle car with me on Sunday in hopes of repeating the podium of '05.

Wish I were headed for the Turtle Pond, like these guys:



May your decals and stickers all remain upright, and maybe some of you guys on Saturday night also!

Jeff- Thanks for the sentiment. Does Lienies qualify as champagne?
PM me with your new contact info- got some stuff to tell you.
