Awesome. :thumbsup:

And no need to be there early, the action won't start until after 9 and most of us are in 2nd and 3rd heat. :nod:

Mr EZ Apr 24, 2008 03:40 PM

Laura you could probably do it, I did for the first time about a month ago. See you all on Saturday

You can show up. Most of the time people don't show so you can take their space:thumbsup:

I want to watch first. I really want to drive, though, just not tomorrow! :lol:

Maxicooper Apr 25, 2008 07:55 PM

The wife makes a last minute call to join a fund raising yard sale at our kids' school tomorrow morning. I will have to help arranging the showcase in the morning before the autox. :sad:

I should be there before noon, and will join you all on the afternoon round. :nod:

Brian0758 Apr 26, 2008 01:43 PM

It was a lot of fun watching you all run the course. Makes me think that I might have to give it a try next time.

See ya, Brian

Glad to meet you as well. Actually, really nice to meet all of you, MrEZ, Lastrega and GreenCactus. :grin:

I was there late but the organizer was kind enough to let me join the run. Big thanks to Ed, Ted and all CDC crews. You guys are awesome. :thumbsup:

Laura and Brian, I'm looking forward to see both of you join the fun next time. :grin: :nod:

I love the Noble, but that's like going deer hunting with an M16.

Mr EZ Apr 26, 2008 05:35 PM

Brian0758 Apr 26, 2008 06:13 PM

I have a great farmers tan going on too. After hanging out with you all, I spent 1 1/2 hrs on 495 just before the Wilson Bridge. Some guy had a carbeque on the bridge and a whole bunch of us we standing around waiting for the traffic to move. At least I had some fun watching a few Mini racing around a parking lot.

I might give the next one a shot with my Mini. Its going to be a totally different experience then the Miata so you should probably look away when times are posted.
