Hey Ray, note the model years for SPBOX class. It was good seeing you again and thanks for volunteering.

Tim Greene in the Polizei 914 got one of the Workers' Choice awards. I don't recall them mentioning a Rookie Award, but I may have been on a beer run at that point.

Pat Womack (that flyin' D car) got the Hoosiers.

Hiya Fred

They usually give away a set at every Club Race Weekend.

The drawing is usually at the awards ceremony. The winner usually has to be present to win.
(Pat's was the first name drawn.)

I usually don't win.

I left the awards ceremony when they started raffling off stuff and at that point there was no rookie or novice racer award handed out.

For a moment I thought that PCA decided to allow a Hoosier Contigency Program. Why isn't there one?

As for usually not winning... I feel it, you should go get yourself a MegaMillion! It's your turn now!

There is in NASA...I'm gunning for tires in the fall at the Glen, you should come out

The CDOC contingency is a good one in PCA. You should sign up Fred. Joel and I have both done well with them this year. I have $450 and Joel is above $600 I think now with them.

(I did win a set of street Pirellis at Road Atlanta in '07)

(She will point out to, well, just about everyone that in a recent indoor kart race she beat me...)

Thanks Oscar. I realize I'd have to get a new (old) 986 for this to work which is good because I really don't want to strip my current car. Two Boxsters sounds about right to me, but I'm having a real hard time justifying the purchase with our baby due this month.

It will probably need to be an '09 or '10 purchase.

Great seeing you again!! You ran some smoking fast laps, while I was watching.
