Okay, I'll start

After A BRI of 3 Sunday, and running 2 minutes flat at Fontana, I'm up for this track. I've never been to the facility, and can only run Saturday, so probably no official time. Still, it'll be fun to threaten Carl, and Greg :evil:

I'm prolly not goint to be in even the same group as Jad, though :cry:

Hey, I have already been smack talkin. Read some of the other threads. 8)

I think this is going to be a BIG turnout. Should be a lot of fun.

Just hope the RSA guys put lots of suntan lotion on their left arm for signalling me by :P Don't want a nasty sunburn

Sorry Paul, but business forces me to attend a meeting at the Maui Computer Center. If you really want to threaten me, you'll have to come to our umbrella drink competition. :D Carl

I'm definitely going! It will be a bit warm but should be only low 90's at the highest.

For those that are new to this track it is my second favorite track behind Infineon. Buttonwillow is very technical in nature compared to Willow or California speedway so it requires some learning that usually does not happen over 1 weekend. As I uderstand it, with all the rain this year the edges of the track are a bit deep due to run off and cars removing the dirt. We need to be careful for sure in some places!

See all of you out there!

My first event. Can't wait to get to a "real" track. The concours 968 will be all covered up in stealth mode - no chuck'n rocks at my nose before you wave me by!

Honestly, I can't wait. I have been trying to get to a TT for over a year now. I just hope I can sleep the night before.

Yeah, right! Sleep the night before?!?!? I still lay there staring at the ceiling waiting for sleep to come. Sometimes even on Thur.

The good news is that you are so dang exhausted Sat. night that you have no trouble at all...

BTW Pete, I'll be there.

Bill/Mike

It must be the thrill of sleeping in hotel rooms in far way places.

Suggestions:
Bring your blankie
May I suggest a suitable adult beverage
Think pleasant thoughts about bashing the 964s/RSAs (assuming they show up)
Tylenol PM is great, really helps when I travel or need sleep

Any other 911s going?- Johnny Riz, Slow Dave, Curt , Dan, others?

Looks like a great group. Glad you can make it Johnny R. Maybe us small displacement guys can sneak into the top 10!
