i thought it was a bit premature, but I contributed anyway. August will be here before we know it. Besides, our threads used to start months in advance, how else will the become epic. Remember the TGPR thread, it had over 1000 posts IIRC.

The only thing that keeps me from doing it is the money I've already spent. Thanks OD!

I may come out there in the afternoon on Friday, to take pictures and hang out, but won't be driving, since I am working.

I can go on Friday evening to set up the EZ-Up and rope off an area if needed. L8, maybe you and I could do that.

I'll be there. Car is screaming, exhaust is flaming, brakes lock up like a boy dog, and the car will have more weight removed by the time this event rolls around. I can't wait!!! I'm in the timetrials.

L8... DO IT! Move to HPDE3.... DO IT!

Phlash! I have pleanty of parking and camping area but no beds to offer. Anyone is more than welcome to camp at my place. I don't like to camp myself. I plan to build a new house one day and there will be plenty of room for everyone. That would be an offer for everyone at every RA event.

I don't know if DE 3 is where I will be, but right now, I am just trying to work it all out. I would really prefer to drive, so we will see. Details still need to be worked out.

Especially the one about where do we stay, since Phlash will be driving, the Chateau is not going to be here.
