Randy??? Who the hell is Randy? well, I guess I've been called worse... As Chris stated, I will be doing tech again for the Danville event. That said, I can use a hand in this. Depending on the need, we'll either setup a tech station or just do roving tech.

Any volunteers? I can use a warm body to help....

Thanks!!

Randy....errr Rodney

I'll help you out Rodney. Never done it before, but from what I can tell, its not that hard is it?

I'm only there Saturday though, you might need to find a Sunday volunteer still.

Thanks Brice... I can go over what needs to be done on Sat morning. As for Sunday, I think I'll be ok since we'll have covered most of the cars on Saturday. Please plan on being there early so we can tech cars and give ourselves some time to walk the course. I think we can do roving tech, we shouldn't have that many cars to do. Make sure you bring some gloves since you'll be sticking your hands in the engine bay, don't need to get those fingers burned...

see you Saturday...

The most important aspect of the job is to check for the presence of floorboards. :P

Come on! Somebody had to say it! :D

I'd drive up for both days, except I'm taking care of the farm where I live, so getting back late is not an option.

Looking back at the past October events, this is shaping up to be the third lightly attended (by our standards) in a row.

Make you hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

so... the question is are we going to be able to pull off this weekends event with the limited number of folks that showing up? I'm sure we can... I'm seeing 6 runs per day easy!!

Randy, folks that dont generally work, may have to stepup and work. I know I will be shagging cones and actually look forward to it.

Also, course designers can help a ton by not having 190389872903748 worker stations :)

The show must go on!
