If you aren't familiar with the track, I'd recommend viewing some of the in-car videos Silver8 has on his web page. There are several of Nabil and me. It'll give you an idea of the track layout and how to enter/exit turns.

And, where NOT to spin out!

According to Julie, The NASA contract states we have total access at 5:00. I was thinking about showing up around 4:00. I'm hoping to scope out the turn one versus the turn 10a-b campsites......

You say that like you didn't like it! Which we both know is not true.

Gordo,

Will bring musical fruit and slaw... Got kraut?

Going this evening to check out a portable grill. I need one myself and brauts will cook better.

Every experience can be upgraded!

Jesus, One whole day with no internet killed me.

Where to start.

Lego, i have seen every video that has been posted that you guys made from RA, some of which silver doesn't even have. I will be going over game film again Thursday.

Phlash, what do I need to bring. I am already bringing brat and burger buns, some beers, I can pick up some rita fixin's if I need to.

Where are we all meeting on Friday. At RA or at Charlie's?

And yes, 6 am all hands will suck, at least all hands for Sunday is not so bad.

Three more days, and they will undoubtedly be long as hell.

Howdy gang, I have the school tape from road atl that Nabil has seen. It sure is a great refresher or 1rst day of school if you've not done it before. I am willing to loan it if someone wants to pick it up from me at the shop.

On another note, I will email those of you whose addresses I have a little clip I got today that will blow you completely away. I don't have access to it here at home so you will have to lie awake tonight wondering what it is. I was at this event and saw it happen and had forgotten about it until now but I promise it will blow you away! IT'S NOT ****!!!!!!!!

Sorry I can't make this one but I may pop up on saturday if I get through early enough.

Chas

That's ok. I have really bad gas that comes during the wee hours of the night.

That's funny as hell. My first thought was of a 3 rotor or turbo or something. Breasts were nowhere in the picture. Now that you bring it up, no wait! I can't taint the 8.

throads, remind me on Saturday to give you the DV tape back. I have it in my glove box to make sure I carry it.

Charlie, can we make copies of this "IT'S NOT ****" clip?

Lego, did you see your Jaws image?
My shirt will not sync with anyone's but you will be able to see me a mile away! I will be charging it up when I plug in my camera batteries.

Nabil: I'll be there for the All Hands Meeting and go over to the corner workers meeting as well. I assume it will be right after the All Hands? It was last time over by the tower on the turn 12 side.

Silver8,

I saw it thanks! I have it saved to send to my buddy who took the original picture. He'll get a kick out of it.

See you all in 3 days.

Nabil, Travis,

If you guys could bring a big 'Ol bottle(s) of Tequila for the rita's that would be great. I have blender, three liters of mix, salt, limes, etc....

Nabil, I think you and I are the olny ones that drink it, but if your into Scotch again this trip, I think I have a half bottle left, so if you wanna bring more, that'd be great as well....

other than that, I think we have it all covered and then some. Kinda like Barber's food fest.....
.

If you guys run across any more of our RX group, please invite them for the festivites Friday and/or Saturday night. I'll be inviting the NASA folks (20 or so of them) that want to come as well. I figure we'll probably start getting tanked, I mean cranked, around 7:00-7:30ish until.......We'll be set up either in turn one or turn 10a-11....

If you guys will PM me cell #'s, I'll let you know where we end up and if I forgot any of the last minute stuff that you may be able to pick up on the way out.

WooHoo!!! Two more days!!!!

SWEET!!

Phlash...AKA race control trainee....:D
