That would be loads of fun. I will make it happen! Scott and I talk about getting there every year.

+1...Patrick is just like that in person...very approachable and so forth. Patrick Long is my favorite and I am so glad he is driving for Porsche.

Sweet, it will be a great race. We just need to convince Dwayne to come up too.

What kind of food should we expect ? You need to match or better the SP food or all bets are off.

Wow, fantastic - thanks for posting the link. This after just watching "Sabine Losing It..." (she didn't come close to losing it - just the press making more out of adjustments).

Last year it was lasagna - meat or no meat. I vote for lobster rolls this year - anybody listening?

The Boathouse Restaurant in Lakeville - fresh clams/oysters, fried oysters, great sushimi, steaks/pollo/lamb, etc. etc.

Wood Pit in Bethlehem - Tex-Mex, all meats/chicken is smoked. Best crispy hot wings around, giant beef ribs, fantastic pork ribs

I would expect Hunt to bring brownies, especially since I somehow managed to miss getting any at Summit...

Nothing is included in the race cost (that you want anyway) so we always dine out. We don't have anywhere that grandpa will be singing offkey and that it takes an hour to get the check though, sorry.
