Another Pro Solo scheduled for '07

Finger Lakes (NY) region has been given a one course Pro event for this July. Reg opened today, they already have more entries than the March El Toro event. I guess you east coast guys like your Pro's...

The one that was supposed to be announced still hasn't been.

Of course, that one could have wound up being the Packwood Pro (which, at this moment, has 7 entries).

What's "supposed to be announced"???

Packwood won't even get any interest until June or so, based on last year...even then, I'll be surprised if it has over 150 entries, total...which is too bad, it is a cool event, regardless as to what ULLLLLLLOSE says...

Interesting data point: BS/RX8 currently represents 15% of the total El Toro Pro entry

I wonder if El Toro will sell out this year?

I wonder what would be better for my 1st ProSolo experience, getting beaten by Jen & Anna and wearing skirt, or frying my clutch at x'mas launch...


That being said, I know that ProSolo is something I should experience at least once, before the duel-course layout gets scrapped. I'll go back to my corner now.

I'll see how much I suck this Sunday at SFR SCCA, with DKNV/TeamRX8/mwood leading the pack.

we have a busted shock and haven't run in 3 or 4 months, we don't expect to be all that competitive, anything is better than spending another weekend in freezing temps

you can expect to hear me cussing from 200 miles away when I'm pulling those shocks off next week in a garage cold enough for us to hang frozen beef in

finding out what alarm level the open exhaust is will suit me

They have these things called "space heaters"...perfect for garages...you might want to check into it...

Since I'm running the "wrong" tires, with a setup that is a work in progress, I'm not expecting to exactly set the world on fire, either...but, it should be fun.

we just got a $500 heating bill for the house and it's going to take more than a space heater in an oversized 3 car garage when the temps are getting down into the 5 - 20 deg range

Yes, just over the new year. Got engaged, SO in CA, you know the rest.

Gonna miss seeing you/clyde/Imp at Devens this year! National is only a couple month away, thankfully! Good luck in AS with Porsche, you got the talent with a nice personality too!
