    Andy-

    My cars to heavy... lol JK (sorta)


    Hoping for the ProIT at NHMS but I have some engine work to finish, taking a trip/vaca to California, re-negotiate my contract at work for a 5yr deal, and trying to buy a house all at the same time... Life is getting in the way, but at least its in a good way.

    I will be at the school though supporting Tim Dugans effors in his ITB VW Golf.

    See you then;

    The region should not be surprised at all for this kind of turnout for a Saturday-only event at NHMS. Granted, the event is normally Sunday-only, but...?

    And I suspect this trend will continue until the general economy improves. LRP's gonna hurt...

    I know the numbers are gonna be down but for a class that was challenging for top participation numbers, I would have expected SOME return drivers!

    Not that it really matters but why no DP at this event? Oversight?

    Doubtful; I'd say 75% "no" right now. Owner is in the Army Reserves and was gone until yesterday. He *may* have time to prep it for shipping today (throwing in and securing "spares") and I *may* be able to find a shipping company truck/trailer that's leaving tomorrow coming this way. But, the odds of it being here by Tuesday (my drop-dead date for being able to inspect it for the school) are pretty low.

    But if it is, I'll be there.

    Well as you know, this weekend is typically a one-day regional - held on Sunday after a Fri-Sat school.

    This year there is some sort of need by NASCAR to have the facility on Sunday. This is also the reason the North garages are off limits this weekend. So in reality, the regional is not taking the hit, it's the school - down from 2 days to 1.

    It is 80% plus that I will not make it. Work is crazy (and I am thankful). Car is on jack stands and needs to have the bakes replaced, prepped for the track and have a setup put on the car... probably too tight.

    Would love to do the school again! track time is what I need....
