I will be in Durham, NC from the 17th to the 27th. I would love to meet up with anyone during that time, but I really hope to be able to attend and participate in the event on the 24th.

I should be giving him a ride to the event on the 24th assuming the car is back together enough for me to show up! I'm not sure if the MR2 will be up for doing a co-drive with him though so I still let that offer stand with you all.

He's a great guy I've known for a few years - he lives and breaths RallyCross so let's take care of him

One year for SCCA RallyCross Nationals in Colorado he showed up without a car, bought one at a gas station near by for ~$200 and raced it until the transmission exploded on the track. Then he turned around and sold it! What a crazy !@#$%

Thanks Greg. If you won't be there just let me know and we'll find another ride for him.

Is there any interest in standing him for a drink before the race, say on Thursday or Friday night?

Found out today that my co-driver, can't make the event so I have a seat open. This is a new car for me so there are no guarantees on suitability.

We also have had some interest from Zach Hill who thinks he would attend if he can find a ride. I had planned on offering him the open seat, but could possibly manage 3 drivers (especially if one ran with the 4-wheel drive classes).

Also, I would be interested in getting together for a drink after work to discuss what the middle of the country is doing rally-x wise.

Well, yeah.

I am, however, a fair cicerone, and could provide a wide variety of rare hops-based beverages and items to consume while imbibing.

After that, I need to have a hole cut in the top of the dirt bomb. Or maybe before the beer would be better?
