LSRPCA DE February 9-10
I didn't see a thread for this, so I'm creating one. I'm sure we'll want to have some discussion. Sorry if it's a repost.
First question: on clubregistration.net, it says that registration opens today (January 9). However, I don't see a "Register" link/button. Maybe it will open later today?

I'll be there in Feb also, with daughter #1 in tow. She's going to drive on the track for the first time. And no, she's not driving the Porsche.

I had a chance to put my daughter in the passenger seat for a few laps at MSR over the holidays (I've never heard a longer "wheeeeeee!!!!"). She's still at the learner's permit stage, but it didn't take long for her to translate concepts to the street. She used to tense up and brake so much for a turn that by the time the turn was completed, we were almost at a dead stop. After her MSR passenger experience, she finally got the courage to accelerate through a turn and the lights just went on. She looked at me, astonished at her feat, identified the increased stability and the fact that we were doing 30 AFTER a turn, and said "wow, let's go around block and do that one again!".

And on a more serious note... Just found out that 2nd gear has been sliding back and forth on the mainshaft due to a failed thrust washer. Mainshaft main be "toast"! More detail on other damage by Friday. This is gonna be expensive!
I just hope I can get it repaired in time for the DE. #2 on waiting list for a garage! Dang it!

My daughter will be there this week and Feb too, but she's got 11 years to go before she gets to drive. - Crying the thought of her driving, not the 11 years.
She's already instructing me on parade laps, though. It's hiliarious, she knows every turn and can call out the flag stations.

Yeah, but she's trying to help. Now she calls out every apex I miss just driving around town!
Toby, YOU are on that slippery slope you warned me about!
uh, I think #2 on the waiting list means you're with "group 2".... that is, the group who doesn't have a chance of getting a garage. (I am also #2. Well, at least I got my #2 before you got yours, so get in line!)
If you can't get the tranny fixed by then, come on out anyway - the C4 can do double duty. Might the only way that car ever sees the white run group (that is, until my daughter gets it there).
