I’ll be down if I’m recovered form surgery by that date. It’s on the 6th, so I don’t see why not. ---

I definitely see what you mean, I like the idea of an end of season, but how about a mid-offseason? Nearly everyone here does HPDE’s, Auto X’s, or runs at LVD (or a mixture), and the seasons start and end at just about the same time. If I remember right, the guy who seemed to be running the show last time we went said we kind of got lucky that the tracks weren’t to busy and that we were able to run more or less at the same time, should I shoot them an email about if we can reserve some time, but not rent out the whole track? ---

You can try, but they probably won’t let you. No point in letting you reserving a slot when they want to sell time… Not to be a pessimist but I’m pretty sure they won’t give us jack unless we show them the money… I would advise that you call ahead and just ask if there is another large group coming at that time (to their knowledge). Then, go even earlier than last time, like be there by 11 AM so we have the place to ourselves again. Just don’t let the guy talk you into their whole sales pitch on renting by hour. Unless they drastically cut prices, there’s no need for that. ---

I also have more wind resistance because I’m 4 feet taller than you, and your “front bumper” acts as a spoiler, creating downforce. Based on my calculations, due to my performance handicap, I beat YOU by 2.7 seconds!!!11!!!1 :excited ---
