Damn, Rick - beat me to it. I heard that Irish will be bringing cookies this time, or tossing them, or something like that.

Not that my attendance is mandatory, but I'll be at the annual family-palooza at the Outer Banks (my parents' condo is still open for September rentals!) the weekends of the 14-15 and 21-22, so I'd prefer to not have it on any of those days.

So, viewing from totally my perspective (which is obviously the right way to do it), the options would be Aug 1, 7, 8, 28, 29. The 28/29 are looking best to me, as hopefully it will be a little cooler, and of course, raining, as by law, our meets have to have either rain or the threat of a downpour.

Though I'm flexible.

Markopolo - thanks for finally cashing my check. I was wondering if that was going to ever clear.

We could do this at MG's beach club, but only if they waive the guest fee.

On second thought, Sea Bright clubs just lost final appeal on restricting beach access. Anyone can waltz up and down as they please, so we could just walk on around and in.

Same here. When was the last meet Tyro made, anyway?

MG's club would be fine also, don't get me wrong. I'm Switzerland on this one.

Nothing wrong with Honda people.

I'll be doing the Niagra Falls CRX meet in two weeks. Over 200 CRXes in one place; that's alot of atlezza taillights.

No money necessary for that, if you play your cards right.

You'll do anything to not get a job, won't you?

Tommy - don't remind me of my allergy to cookies, lol - that makes me sick even to think about. RJ - good to have another drunken irishman along to carry the load

My attendance will come down to schedule. Am in KY on several weekends between now and laborday. Hit or miss at best. Plus after the last trip, I might not be welcome anyway?

I don't know why, Irish. I'm just upset that I didn't go on the fishing trip; I didn't know it was going to be dinner AND a show.

Seriously, don't worry about it. It's happened to all of us; at least in your case it didn't involve public urination or local law enforcement.

Rick, could you add a poll to this thread for the dates? Or can MG say what dates would work for him if we're going to have it at his club? August isn't that far away anymore. Maybe we'll get some hot weather by then.

EDIT: If you haven't been keeping up with autocrossing at Giants Stadium's parking lot, it's back on. Go to www.motorsportsne.com - I'll be at the Aug. 8th AM run.

Last edited by tommy; Jul 19, 2010 at 12:56 PM. Reason: info on autocrossing to people who have probably never done it

We should start narrowing down a date now, it's hard for everybody to get coordinated.
