Feel bad that i'm going to miss this now because i was one of the very first to put my name on the list for potentially showing up a while ago.

Something came up and i won't be able to attend.

What is the actual head count so far? Have we at least met the MINImum or am I going to have to eat a lot of food?

I'm really torn but this is a great chance to do some flying of a "history making" system. I'll tell you more about it later.

I was in Preston at around 7:00pm on 100 but I'll bet you that was the lady I see with the Wensley looky-likey except no U-stripe

Unless Wensley's sneakin' out on me again !

We were actually posing for Maxi to take the picture, so not only did we miss the apex, we were 'slightly' below our usual velocity!

I suspect we more than made up for it later!
That being said, we were in the park, and knowing how many 'bears' there are in and around parks, it made sense to behave. For a change.

So when are we going to arrange our 'ride-alongs'? And where? I'd suggest a fairly short route considering how much faster and scarier the right seat is than the left... don't want anyone to emulate Chris's kids!

I've converted Wensley into a remote control car so you can sit behind the wheel while I race the other r/cers in the parking lot

Speaking of RC cars, how many people will bring the RC cars?

I will bring some small cones (soccer cones) to the park on the day.

For the update of the participants' list, please go to: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...&postcount=144

I'm bringing an RC car, too. I usually just use to chase the cats with, so I'm not sure how this will go.

We have total of 85 parking spaces, 30 will be for our RC fan, so we have around 50+ left.

Only a few days till the run & picnic I guessing Saturday will be the day I get my baby all cleaned up for the party.

If anyone is going to Mach V Dyno I will probably hang out for a few hours in the morning.

See ya Sunday, Brian
