I’m cautiously optimistic that the CNY people will do a better job than the Glen did. Either way, I’ve got a chair this time for the driver’s meeting, and I might be a real dick and bring a stopwatch too…

I’m not going to make it this time. I _just_ got the car back from getting the window replaced, and I still need to get a new radio. I can’t stand driving the car without tunes. I will have it ready for the next event though.

Are you kidding?! After that CART guy ran into a deer, they have to be going nuts there!🙂

By the way Bret, I’m going to be in the Mini tomorrow.

Well, I’ll never compare to CNY to Glen region again. CNY actually has some sembance of organization. I’m sorry I doubted them. :biglaugh:

Event was a good time, and since they basically used the same course as divisionals with a couple of minor tweaks (and about 10 seconds shorter), it didn’t require too many course walks. 😉 The heats seemed to go fairly quickly, too.

^^^ Agreed. I loved the course… just wish I had manned up and driven harder sooner than my last run, but oh well! The weather was even somewhat dealable with that breeze.
