Bummer, I'll be installing my new suspension that weekend. Ready to rock 'n' roll for the LSR June DE though. See you all there.

The good thing is that they're almost always wrong.

Should be quite the show with a bunch of really fast "D" cars. Just can't wait till the combined Sprint and Enduro. It oughta be fun.

I've been busting my *** getting my car ready. New wheels, tires ( Falken Azenis rt-615), wheel studs, machining hub centers, oil cooler, water injection, thermostate...... This car owns me.

Whether or not we get rain, it's going to be hot and humid so bring plenty of hydration.

Kurt, make sure you save some energy for the track - a 3-day DE in conjunction with the club race could end up giving you close to twice as much track time as a regular DE.

Good Luck Jeff. I hope they open up additional viewing areas for the spectators - can't see as much action from the club house, and that place could get crowded.

Thanks VR. Safe travels to Birmingham/Barber for you.

Since Ken Laborde seems to have bailed out on the event, looks like I'm only running against Seth Higgins in my class. Should still be a blast. I see 7 Spec Boxsters on the list, looks like Mark Foley is coming here all the way from SoCal? At least I will get a chance to see some of the action.

+1. Have fun! I love that place!

I just heard our SpecBoxster.com buddy, Mark, left San Diego yesterday afternoon. He was around El Paso earlier & plans to make Odessa tonight. Now that's dedication!

Good luck to all my compadres racing this weekend & I'll see you out there. Everybody else, have a great Holiday weekend

I went out to MSR yesterday to run a couple of sessions with Jeff W. and Barry. After soaking my suit with sweat I promptly walked over to PST and bought a Cool Shirt system. It wasn't even that hot yesterday but just the dehydration factor made me worry about that Enduro on Monday with highs forcasted to be 95 and heat index values over 100. I guess i'm just a pussee.

Me too and we aren't the only ones. Most if not all the cup guys I ran with had one. When it's hot, I think it's one of the best performance mods you can make. It doesn't matter how good the car is if the driver is spent.

See you tomorrow AM.

I'm glad Barry got his car sorted out in time! See you in the morning.
