Great road, just gotta watch out for the idiots.

It's nice to know that you won't likely come upon an 18-wheeler on the track...

yeah, I've come across a few things I wouldn't have thought I'd see but I did. Can't recollect seeing an 18-wheeler though...

You mean a week from Saturday, right? Feb. 18th. S-Driver is going, and I would think Eddie will be there since his 'new' wheels will be there. I'll make the reservations once you guys decide on a time...11ish? noon? later?

I will be there around noon.

Eddie, the nittos are veggi's but they are on my Enkei pf01. I can bring the Dunlop's and the tuner lugs. I am not sure you will fit all that in the mini.

Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

GKP has a prior arrangement so can not make it - but will miss not being there. He sends his "hello" ...... Wishes he could be there.

See everyone next Saturday.

Sounds great! I guess I though you would be coming from up in NY like last time. What town on the coast are you coming up from?

Would you guys like me to try and get Suss to come along?

Yup, no more place in NY. Wife retired.

Also, I will e-mail you my info. Perhaps a meet up at 10:00-10:15 am would give us a slow easy drive up.
