just to clarify… the BING’s Lounge is a booth for me to promote my wares, not a ‘hang out’… you guys are welcome, but dont make me out to be an asshole as i have often had to be in the past with like 23 dudes sitting around when i’m trying to put food sur le tableau… ---

You can add me to the list I will be down with The Mitsu Ralliart . Is there any extra space to share a room or I will even chip in for gas becouse really not in the mood for driving up there. Unless some else wants to drive my car up there? and trade for a spot on the hotel floor. ---

I don’t anyone is driving up as a group man. I think most of us are just going to find eachother sometime at the event since no one is putting their cars in the show. I’m leaving Buffalo at like 5am to pickup setup supplies / parts, pick Bing up at the Airport, etc. Going to be a crazy day… ---

I just dont want to be wondering alone by my self with my camera looking like a bigger loser than I already am. Also does anyone have a place on their hotel floor I could rent. I am not sure if I plan to sleep at all because I am going downtown for some fun that night maybe , but could use a place to wash up. ---

This was a lot of fun. Sorry I never made it over to Bings area… was too busy either crewing/spotting for Mike day 1, and day 2 I never left the spectator stands because it was too much fun to watch. My biggest congrats to Mike for his third place finish 🙂 ---
