    several others will __know__ this

    The __break__ even number depends on if you count the school or not as a weekend package. There are a number of expenses that change from day to day and the actual break even number can only be determined after the event.

    If you want to know more, go to the regions comp board meetings where the comptroller goes over all the numbers in great detail.

    Last years numbers were distributed at the annual meeting, IIRC.

    I just wanted to thank the people who responded to my "physical" issue...

    The PMA where my doctor’s is located has a walk in clinic, but they do not do physicals, they only take care of sick people. However the hospital was great in passing me around to different people, I think in an effort to not help me. They even called me back and told me someone else to call when I left them messages. Finally I called a lovely lady in a soon to be doctors office who then put me on hold and found someone currently at the hospital who could do my physical ASAP, she was unimpressed that other people with the same capability forwarded me to her. Anyway she is getting a nurse practitioner to do it tomorrow afternoon. I think the first people I talked to were scared of the document (I can race waiver) that needed to be signed so they just jumped me around.

    Anyway thanks to everyone for their input in making sure I have no excuses... now all I need to do is get this on-line pre-registration fixed and get Topeka to process my license ASAP...

    Greg-

    http://www.rstperformance.com/Index/1lapNHIS1.html

    This isn't a link to an in-car video, but just a set of shots/pictures I took from my camera and put in order. It does show what the track looks like. It is the first lap of an ITB/ITS race from April 15, 2000. I think you will find it somewhat comical. Maybe I should send a copy of the tape to someone who can make it into a on-line video!!!

    I think that this lap would be a great one for the history books, as their is an incident in just about every turn. I think I gained half the field by default that day

    PS: Yes stephen is the white Audi infront of me... but I think I might have passed him at some point

    As Andy says, I'll be 2500 miles away with the fam. My alleged buddies keep threatening to rent out my brand new ride. If the green-and-white ITS 05 runs that weekend, please let me know and I will press charges ...

    We miss you guys too!

    Don't know how things will work out, my motor is tired, needs a rear main seal (and hopefully not a clutch) and we finally killed our tires from 2002.

    The XR3 is gutted but I think our winter rivaled yours this year so that's it. We're still playing catch up on all the stuff we (I?) "ignored" on my beater till it got warmer. Oh, and I took the studs off last night so it should snow again soon, sorry about that!

    We'll come out and at least visit you, if we can't get on the track, k?
