The best VIR help you can get: Find Peter Krause (Lolaman) at the track.

Thanks, Mike!

Will need to be this week (or this weekend coming up) because I'm headed to Mid-Ohio Tuesday 6/19 for a week.

Really going to miss seeing my RL friends, this time around...

Always glad to help! While we are competing against each other for "points" and pride, other H drivers like Pete Tremper and Peter Debusman have helped me in the past. So I guess this is returning the favor.

Also, I will try to call you about the Enduro. We can get some support for the fueling etc. See you next week.

I just got my tire order email reminder from Bob Woodman, so we must be getting close.

By the way, I just reserved all the Hoosiers in North America, so if you need rubber for the race, don't even bother calling BW.

They will just walk over to Sasco. I already got mine so I'm set.

PS; Too bad you are not going to be around, Peter. I need help interpreting Traqmate data.

Did you get three sets one for each race?

I just ordered 4 sets of A6's for the weekend. I'm not fooling around this time...

Default Medals

We do have medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers...Gold, Silver, and Bronze! You may recall last year they did not show up and we won OG Racing Gloves instead. Thanks Mark Frances from OG but medals are better. We will be doing a points system like Watkins Glen where we score the combined Sprint Races so there will be one medal for the two sprint races and points awarded.

What gives, four pages and no complaining about the heat or worrying about the rain? C'mon let's get with it, I'll start. I am thinking it is going to be a hundred degrees with hurricane force winds and monsoon-like rains, just how I like it.

In addition to an excuse generator we need a smack talk generator! Pick your favorite:
__ Bitch about the weather
__ Blocking strategies and definitions
__ Holding up the cars behind during a double yellow
__ Slowing down after the checker
__ Not returning wheels
__ IMS swap should count as a Prepared Class change

Did I miss anything?

Don't worry I'll give you a middle finger "point by" when I pass you.
