I am signed up!  As of now, if I just walk through the course, I will win my class.  No one from RTR signed up yet........... what's wrong with you guys?  there is NO OTHER event going on, so sign up and have fun!

I'm registered and ready to go.  It will be great to see everyone again, hopefully Craig's engine is back where it belongs.  You too, V!  I won't be joining the caravan, since Hershey is a straight shot out 78 for me.  See everyone there!

What, do you have this site as your home page?

I just registered and will be joining the caravan. 

Chuck, is that your car on 3 wheels on the home page?

Yep, that's me. I thought I'd cut down on the wear & tear on the tires by only using three.

The early 911's can dom that trick much more easily than the 964's, but with little practice and higher speeds, you should be able to manage.

Aren't we required to have a SNELL 2010 helmet,....?

I believe that was the talk last year anyway, I received some grief for showing up with my old Snell 1995 at some events.

A 1995 helmet is antiquated and belongs in the smithsonian....... Or maybe its smell would send it there anyway. If that thing wasn't washed out, all that sweat would probably grow legs and walk.

Anyway, the 2010 helmets are required in DE track events....... not so strict in AX.
