Loren,

If someone cancels or doesn't show up, can we cough up the $35 and run in the afternoon for fun?
I really need to get more seat time.

Doug,
I see how those S2 guys are. I love a good challenge.

Mayor Doug AKA "The Instigator"

I *may* need to bum a ride Sunday. The city is timing things just perfectly to fudge up my weekend plans and has my driveway torn up and blocked at the moment making it impassable. I'm told the concrete will be laid today and it should be dried and opened back up Saturday. If that is correct I won't have a problem getting the vette out and on the truck, but these guys are already weeks behind on this project, so I wouldn't bet my life on their estimates being correct.

I don't see 'blocked driveway' in the data base!

That's a can of worms that we threw away a long time ago. Sorry. Pre-reg only.

Forms? Menu?

Postby **Loren** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 12:29 pm

The forms are SPC only. Lunch is whatever Doug ordered.

Priorities: The course map is posted!

Crow in oil of your choice. And finger food. Have to keep it light for we afternoon drivers so we don't fall asleep.

Yep, trans is shot. Anyone in clearwater/largo have a car trailer I could borrow? I'll run it as is, just don't want to drive her there this way. But who knows, I've got free towing via my auto insurance.

Excited to run with FAST again. TBD is much closer this time:)

Just a thought, but there have been some pretty torrential rains since we last ran at TBD, very likely that there is quite a bit of gravel/dirt in our flight path. I will be bringing my leaf Blower out and if anyone else wanted to bring one as well, we could clean out the course pretty quick. Just one took quite a while last time. Two or three would really help out.

It's probably time for you to learn how to drive again!!

You can co-drive Shamu as he has a new "stiffy" and I have no idea how he'll steer other than with the rear tires.

No gummy big tires. No trick suspension. No big camber. No stick that goes where you tell it. Plenty of crow to eat before you even drive.

A chance to qualify for DFL (dead finish last).

My wife has cooked the Crow. Eat it. Crow is a "protected species" and you are not.

Plenty for chicken chokers to swallow some.

THERE WILL BE CROW!!!!!

So this means we are being served take-out from Cracker Barrel then?

It will be cooked. Unlike California Chicken.

Snookwheels: I think we should let the driver's adapt to the conditions and see the best man/woman win! I'm not saying that because I drive a rally car...

Shakedown: why do you always have excuses...mechanical this and that...then you always finish so well. Just don't believe you anymore...

See all on Sunday...hopefully I can find it-never been.

Good plan for folks following the first couple of run groups, but having a constant for all run groups works pretty good too! Skeeered?

This thread has gotten trashy.

Good job!

Late group advantage-- scrubbed course.

You're implying you need a co-driver to find your way around the course?

...hopefully I can find it-never been.

But you're driving a rally car! Gunn Highway to Race Track Road, head west...if you reach the Gulf, you've gone too far.

The Mayor's talking about Crow as if he's very familiar with the taste....
