Working it........

any interest in saving a little $??? I'll do the camper again if folks are interested......I'm doing the math on gas vs hotel
......

Thoughts?

 

I would definitely pitch in some $$ to help you out on gas if you brought the camper down. It was a lot of fun last year in August with it, and I am sure it would be again. RA in March was fun, but it did not have the same atmosphere as last August. Most people get a room for the weekend anyway, in March I spent about 70 on my room, so did others. And it would save a ton of time in commuting back and forth. I had planned on staying at home, and that would have cost me at least a full tank of gas, if not more.

So I would help out, anyone with me...

 

I'd love to pitch in. We had a heck of a time last time. ~153 miles from Chattanooga to RoadA. Estimate $3 in gas and 8 mpg for the Titan pulling the camper. That's 38.2 gallons both ways. Let's give it 40 gallons in case Mr. Phlash has a leadfoot. 40 x $3/gal = ~$120 in gas. Am I off base?

I'll be happy to pitch in whatever is needed. Last time was fun as hell. We also have to have the cookouts, those were good fun.

 

Phlash was telling me that he gets 11 MPG pulling the camper trailer. We talked that if there were 6 of us staying, that would be ideal. By my count, those there are:

Phlash
TrackAddict
Legokcen
SilverEight
SilverEIGHT Jr.
L8APEX

that is 6. if it costs him $120 in gas, and we all made it $20 each to pitch in, we would be able to stay at the track, hang out at the grill, have a few cold drinks, and maybe hit a certain unknown skidpad at midnight, I would say $20 is well worth it. Hopefullyy Silver and Silver Jr. are up for it.

 

Me and Jr. will be staying at home. I'm only 15 miles from the track. But I'll throw in $20 for the cause and to park my lard-*** in a lounge chair, drink beer and eat *** smelling BBQ.

 

oh come on, socialize with us. it will be fun.

 

You missed out last time you didn't spend the evening there.

 

I'll talk to Kevin tonight and see if he will be interested.

 

ok, you will not regret it, we had a blast.

 

Kevin and I are registered!

 

OK, I talked with Kevin tonight. We are definately in on Motel Phlash!

 

Awesome,

So how about it Phlash, you gonna bring Chateau Phlash to RA this August?

 

Okay, throw in at least $20 ea and Chateau Zoom is in.....For this low, low amount of pocket change, you get two fun filled nights and some great memories. I'll bring some Beer Brats and some BBQ'd ***. I'm not a beer drinker but will have rita mixin's. Let's keep it at six plus I'll hold TA2's spot if he would like to join us. I'll be there mid day Friday and will see if I can get in early to set up. I'll set up in the same spot but may turn around so that we can overlook 10a-b from the porch.

TA2?

 

That sounds good to me. Sounds Awesome really. Let me knwo when you are going to get there, I will try to meet you and help out with setting up.

 

Hi everyone - I have signed up for this event. Hope you guys don't mind a Z hanging out with you again?

 

Nope, don't mind at all.

I want to let everyone know, I read on the NASA forum this morning, that HPDE 2 for RA in August, is FULL. If you have not signed up, you need to figure something out, quick. Glad I am working. No worries. I keep telling myself that, one day I will believe it.

 

well guess I am too late for this one and I wanted to run RA again this year. Probably would have been too hot anyway.
Yall have fun boys!

OD, you might want to check with Julie. I just read in a thread not about the event, that it was full. I can not find anything else on the forum for NASA about it, so that may just be heresay.

 

Thanks Phlash!

 

I signed up for the Skidpad... I mean to work.

 

Thanks for clarifying that. So you dirver folks sign up, I wanna see 8's out there again. Just not mine.

 

I asked Julie if Kevin and I could have the same number on the car and have the same instructor since we are both signed up with my car. That should make it eaiser for us and certainly on the instructor to not have to go chase down another car.

 

should not be a problem, since you will both be in different run groups. But let her answer that for sure. If nothing else, an easily applied/removed spare number can solve that problem with ease.

 

She has responded and said it should not be a problem but it is to far off to give me a definate answer. She will be getting back I suspect after CMP is over and organizing gets started more on RA.

 

Needless to say, with me bringing the Chateau, I'm working this event......Tower go-for boy....

I'll be on the lookout for big fake *** strakes and doily dresses....
