Hi Joon !

No charge, but since it's a private event, I'll need a head count. Please PM me your mailing info for wristbands.

We would love to have you race - some of the C32 and Crossfire guys would be a good matchup for you.

For clarification, my friends with the 600s are Brian and Ian. But it would be funny if they were both Darryls!

Rumor has it the 911 last week on an Italian horse or something like that, but it will be resting this week. If the weather looks really nice, it may come out to pounce on Saturday.

The 911 just came back from corner weighting and it needs a new left front coil over. The rebound valving was messed up. I hope it shows up in time.

Where's the crying smilie?

Exclamation Saturday morning caravan

On Saturday morning, I am going to be at Streets of Woodfield Starbucks at 7:30 if anyone else would like to drive down there when I do. It is not required, just a courteous invitation to roll with my guys, and we will leave the parking lot at 7:45 sharp. If you are late, you will have to catch up. We are taking the 355 extension to I80, and heading down I65. Endsmtg, if you want, I can call you when we get close to your area, and maybe you can jump on when we go by. This will not be a 120 MPH blast down there, since the real racing starts after the tech inspection. Damn, I feel like a politician or something. I sound like I'm on a soapbox, shutting up now.

Nick

PS: Be safe out there.

Nick,

Could you give me a call 10 minutes before you hit Merrillville? If so, what time do you think you will be around that area? My cell # is: (517) 648 - 2726.

Thanks,

Brian
