i did a tracktime event at road america and honestly i couldnt remember how many runs we got in per day. i was thinking four, but thought they were longer. it was a long time ago, and youre right about it being longer than it seems so ill take your word for it!

Hey Fellas,

Doug, the gentleman who came into town a few weeks back from Indiana, e-mailed me yesterday to say that he is back in town again and will be here through Weds. Last time he was in town I was laid up in bed with my bad back, so I couldn't drive there to meet him. He was nice enough to drive from Hilliard to Worthington for a quick meet up. Really a great guy with a clean VR 8 and RB exhaust.

Any chance we can get some of you together for a dinner meet? I'm thinking tomorrow (Tuesday) around 730-ish @ a restaurant near Cemetery Rd. or Tuttle Crossing. He stayed in the Hilliard area last time he was in town and I'm assuming the same this time. I will drive out there regardless so I'm hoping that some of you can join us.

See you all soon.

If we can wait until Wednesday, I might be able to show off my new wheels! They're supposed to arrive today. My tires are already here waiting at Discount tires.

Unfortunately, Doug leaves Weds. morning.

We can always get together again just to check out the wheels.

I might be able to make this. Didn't he mention something about Chesseburger in Paradise last time?

We could talk about Mid-Ohio as well.

Good call on C.I.P. Is that alright with everyone? Any other suggestions?

Let's say 730p there tomorrow.

I might be 10mins behind but I'll be there. Have to wait for the fiance to get home from work around 720p or so.

You guys are such good sports, CIP at 7:30 works fine. I have to drop off a friend at the airport around 6 which gives me plenty of time to get there. See you tomorrow!

We'll miss you brf, maybe next time. Any other takers?

A cheeseburger and an ice cold one is sounding really good right now.

I'll stop by for a little bit. I thought I'd be mounting my wheels tonight, but it looks like they won't be in until Thursday. I'm dying in anticipation!

Yes, good times!

Food and drink were plenty. Attractive waitress but short on brains.

Once Ra gets his new shoes we'll have to meet up again.

I haven't finished registering for Mid-Ohio but intend on finishing that soon.

Anyone other than huhwha and I, going?

The website won't take my money! I've tried nemerous times and at the checkout screen it says some gibberish and kicks me out. grrr.....

I've left two messages with two diferent people at NASA but haven't heard anything yet. I think the cut off was yesterday. I hope that they help me out and not charge me the extra $50. If so that will really bum me out.
