Yeah... it's the FM part of that that necessitates the use of earplugs.

DM - 22 (Them Lotusus/Caterhams can be loud....and spin a lot! But without the bumps.... it's going to be interesting)
FM - 37 (Nuff said)
GPL - 1 (Triumph)

DM and FM better than FM and CM IMO.

At least we're not working during karts this year.

I really wish we were working AS again like last year, as it stands they're going to be on the opposite course while we're working, which sucks supremely.

Looks likely that BS will be losing 1 for the Pro Finale and for Nat'ls.

I have been selected to serve on a jury...jury selection itself looks like it may take a week, so the trial should be loads of fun.

That sucks, but how odd...I was summoned to report on 9/26 but postponed it until 10/2. If I actually have to go in, it will be like an extra day off after Nats that I won't be charged leave.

I served on a jury some years back. If there's a week that I'll be begging for when I'm on my deathbed, that will be it.

Ok, it's getting close and I need to figure out if I'm going to Natls or not. Does anyone have a co-drive spot available in B-stock? I would be flying in and can chip in for tire/travel costs...

Never crossed my mind that being called on 9/12 would interfere with Topeka...but a first degree murder with possible death penalty...lucky me

You still interested in going? My co-driver will know for sure on Friday if he won't be able to go due to jury duty. If you're interested, give me a call at 704-644-3913. I leave for Topeka tonight, but that's my mobile. - Aaron (BS # 87)

Thanks Aaron. I've already got a ride lined up with Mr. Jones.

So, the Finale is only a few days away and this thread has been pretty weak. Where is all the smack talking?

It seems most of us will let our driving do the talking.

Jeez, I'm in *big* trouble!

I'm lucky that I'll even have tires for the Pro. I almost put them on someone's truck that isn't going to be there until Saturday.

WTF, I'm all confused about who is who on this board. Is B1immer Aaron Buckley? I thought Aaron used to drive a Celica not a bimmer. Who is Mp5? I thought that was the Doc?

Regardless, I'll be there to see how it turns out, at least I know EDJ. I'll have someone to talk to.

Part of the fun of the Internet is trying to match up screen names with real ones. I'm still a n00b so no one knows who I am... I'm dropping in to Topeka in stealth mode.

If anyone is interested in driving an uncompetitive STU car, let me know. I know that's not very exciting, but hey with a little tire warmth maybe we can beat a boost buggy or two.

I might be interested in a co-drive opportunity to warm tires; BS, STU, whatever. I'm getting temporarily assigned to Des Moines from Los Angeles, but I don't know when. If it lines up I'll take a couple days off for Nat'ls. I currently run BS uncompetitively in the LA area (ask MP5 and Ullose).
