Re: Pre-Registration for November 30th

Re: Sylmar Fire

Great. Was just thinking this morning nice to not be affected by the fires, no smoke, no ash. Now I hear ny normal route home (Ortega Highway) is closed due to a fire :( so gotta take the looooong way home. At least there is no brush on the hills near my house as it all burned last year.

I see a good set of co-driver numbers that are available, 156 and 159. Using magnetics, all you have to do is flip the 6/9 to change.

Can you select a 2009 point number? What happens to your 2008 point since there are Nov and Dec events? Still d...

Sylmar Fire

Looks like a few of our members may be very, very close to the fire. Richard Bowman and Marco & Ira Cruz appear to be within blocks of the flames. I can relate, having the fire in Lake Elsinore a year ago come to within a block of my house - very scary indeed. My thoughts are with them and hope ...

That's cool! Of course I voted for him, and he's in a solid 2nd. Unfortunately, the leader has 4 times the votes and is all 5 stars (and the video is honestly a little better). Hopefully there is more than a grand prize.

Re: Contesting a call

The competitor currently shows as getting a trophy. The trophies are not accurate according to our supp regs, and those are preliminary and that's just because the AXWare software displays it like that. So don't read too much into it. Actually they are accurate. 1 for 3, 2 for 5, 1 for each additio...
