Is the gate open after 9:00am?

I know of someone who would like to go but can't make it until 10:00am or so ... (non-MINI).

I'm going to try to be there as well.

The gate will be open

but it will look like it is locked. The guy wraps the chain around it but does not attach the lock. You can let yourself in.

Otherwise, try my cell 303-807-9483 or the radio, 7 sub 21. Heck, just sit there and honk the horn, we will see you and come on over...

Do you guys want to meet up with me and any other CS folks here in the Springs before continuing to the track? Maybe the starbucks at the "Shops At Briargate" off of the Briargate exit...

That is confirmed

I will call you on your cell or whatever number you PM me when we hit Monument. That should allow enuf time.

We are meeting at 7 am at Conoco on S Santa Fe Drive (just S of Webb Motorsports - has the A&W and KFC there too) for some of that 'good' gas - 100 oct. Now THAT should be expensive...

Surfing or Working? I don't see much difference...

Surf is a NOUN (according to Merriam Webster online)

1 : to ride the surf (as on a surfboard)
2 : to scan a wide range of offerings for something of interest

Work is a NOUN too. Looks the same to me.

More CS People goin'

Jonathan,

I'll be heading on down with one other person. I'm probably too far away to make the shops at Briargate in time(if you call from Monument). So we'll head on down and plan to meet you at the gate at 9:00AM.

719-660-1103 (Cell)
