Does anybody want to share a hotel room this Saturday night? I'm staying in Sanford after Les and I set up the course.
Hampton Inn, no smoking room, double beds. Your half will be about $35.00.
No drunks or perverts - That eliminates Vincent and/or Ryan! :wink:

It's not the actual set up thats going to take them so long. It's the testing to make sure that it "flows" good. :lol: :wink:

Hey, look at who you are talking about, just because Walter is slow doesnt mean he isnt a valued member of the club.

Walter, I call your Oil Filter joke and raise you an old man joke and a slow joke. :wink:

Give Walter 10 free runs on his own course and he'll still get beaten by someone named Westerfield! :P

It's 10 cones, not 5!
OK, how about, "Don't let Ryan drive the new bus"!
Regarding the old man comment - I'll stick to my wife's philosophy, "You are only as old as the woman you feel". That makes me 34. According to court records, that would make Ryan 13.
Hum - Scott, you have a valid point!
Yeah, but not both Westerfields at the same autocross. I know neither of them would ever "test" a course.
I make up for being slow by being loud. At least it sounds fast.[/i]

I'm sure Ryan will chime in to correct Walter's statement, but I'll do it for him.

Her birthday was last month, so she isn't 13 anymore.

I can come down Saturday afternoon and test the course, and verify you have those 10 cones 150ft apart :wink:

150 ft apart? I thought 1320 ft apart would be good. Zero to about 113 mph in about 12.5 seconds, slow, turn around and back another 1320 ft.

Back to the actual topic - Let me know if anybody else is driving down Saturday evening and wants to share a room. At my age, I don't want to drive back to Greenville Saturday evening and leave for Sanford before 6:00 a.m. I need my sleep to try to beat at least one Westerfield, most likely the one not on new R compounds!

Yeah, but then your car will have to:

1) slow
2) turn

The Camaro excels at neither :)

yeah, but the Camaro would have plenty of time to slow and turn, maybe grab a snack & a drink from the pits, before the Miatas caught up. :D
