Re: Just an Idea...

Thanks Marc, very nice thought ... but, no worries. The deductibles weren't that bad and insurance is covering pretty much everything. Since her income won't be that great ... although THANK YOU CA SDI, she can probably write-off the "overages." I've been turning down out of town work ... ...

Re: What's with the new road course at ACS ?

What Las Vegas track is that? Infield at the speedway?

How much were those laps?

Re: To all those bailing on this Saturday's practice

I can't find the photo now, but there was a shot from I believe the last events practice course ? ... that had this weird element ... two cone "gate," with each cone having two pointed cones, opposite each other. What was that element ? Pass on either side or pass through option ? What did...

Re: What's with the new road course at ACS ?

Are they just giving up on that parking lot ... as a parking lot? When they built the go-kart track ... where our Solo Paddock use to be ... for the first month or two, when they still let us paddock there ... we were't allowed to park on the special black topped track surface.

Re: 3/1-2 El Toro Registration

Now that we've run down the surface at El Toro it might make a difference, but typically a mil-spec runway is very grippy.
