Oh oh... Calling the Members At Large. There maybe a need to fill in a vacated AX VP slot for the rest of the season. That Wes was a funny guy sometimes...

when the course remains constant, the walls are so much easier to find Rob. personally, i feel i have gained invaluable experience thru collisions with tire walls. i have learned that contact with a tire wall actually sucks. oddly, most of us would say "sure Steve, we know that", but untill one actually makes contact I don't think the true meaning of OHSHIT comes into play.

besides, cones are for marking areas not to be treaded upon, and as Groucho Marx once said, "why would i want to tread upon areas that would have me as a member" time to buy a Miata i guess.

gleefully driving between orange rubber cones in my Miata, aaahhh life is so good. trah-laah laaah lahh lahh.

screw that, i am headed back to wash the tow vehicle. seems i have a new suspension to toss into a tire wall at VIR this weekend. trah-la-la-laah-la. :P

No other takers?

I'm registered. Just in case this is the last time I'll ever get to run there, I don't want to miss it.

Cool! thanks.
Interesting way Roger made 2 different courses out of basically the same cone layout. I see he is using his new feature :"is it a slalom or is it a sweeper?" he debuted at nationals to many positive comments.

241 entries preregistered! Weather high 70s and sunny both days, should be a good one.

After looking at these maps a little more, I REALLY wish I could go. It looks like they will be a blast!
