Now there's a $20 word :D
I prefer the alternate definition:
To administer the office of the pontiff. Much more elegant than turning the word pope into a verb, don't you think?

However, when you've got your own customized, bulletproof ride and more gold in your clothing than you know what to do with, that's not just pontification.

That's Big Popin'.

Tom, I'm also staying at the Hampton. I'm thinking about going to the "Night of Fire" over a Rockingham. But, it depends on how much help is needed in setting up for Sun and how tired I am from the school on Sat.

Also, I really want to ride with you sometime over the weekend (Sat or Sun).

We're staying at the Hampton, but will just drop off our stuff and dog at the hotel and head right over to Rockingham. The track food there is actually quite good so we'll eat there. We'll have two available seats in the Celi to the Rock if anyone wants a ride.

Yeah, I'm at the Jameson too. I tried to get a special rate from them but they acted dumb. Is there a club rate? Right now I'm locked in at $65/nite.

Ok, here is the first lesson for the Advanced/Intermediate school students.

Go to Wal Mart and buy a $10 pair of rubber boots. They are worth their weight in gold when you are out of the car. There is nothing worse that wet feet all day long.

Learn to love the rain! Have a positive attitude about it and use it as an opportunity to learn how to drive in it. You'll have a great advantage over those who don't the next rain event!
Donna and I LOVE the rain, we have learned how to set up for and drive in the rain. It really helped her on the first day of nationals when it was wet and her competitors were freaking out about it, she was able to put 2 sec on the field.
