I'm hoteling, but will try to drop by Friday night if I'm not dead tired. There is the NASA BBQ on Saturday night which is always a good time.

Which hotel are you staying at? I'm afraid I'll be dead tired if I camp.

That place is terrible, last time I was there they had bed bugs. TERRIBLE. I slept in my car. Baymont, Holiday Inn Express, and another are all owned by one family, so they don't really care where you stay :/

If you can get a room at the HI Express, I would highly recommend it.

I had the horrible experience of scabies from a crappy hotel during a jr high trip. Never again. Rather pitch a tent.

Will, let me know what you decide. I may be willing to do the same.

Don't blame you. Then again, I might just drive up in the morning. It's only 1:30 away.

Nice! You can still be a part of the group. Just stay behind and never pass. Can't make us look bad. Oh what am I saying. Youre in 3 aren't you?

Btw, bring your wheels if still for sale. I'll test fit them. Since I have studs, it should be easy enough.

K. See you there. Hoping for cool weather. Forecast is 91. At least it's not 100. That's what I was expecting.

Hi, I'm Will and I'm an addict.

I should be saving the $ for a new C63 coupe, I think with all the modding I've done I would be 1/3 the way there.

Picked up an AIM Solo DL on my travels, should be able to get full data off the can bus this time. Will be exciting!

Well that was a fun day, even with some technical difficulties. See you all at either Infineon or Laguna.

It was good to see you guys out there. Me and Sam from my group mistakenly went out in the 1,2 group after the big crash in 13 was cleaned up. OMG!!! Funny as hell but so sorry.

Meepster, I have a racelogic data file of a 2:09 in my 335. Do you wanna use that to compare instead of the 1 lap I gave you in the E36?

JBass - yes, please! That'd be awesome. I also got a 2:06 from Jon B. in his E36. I never got a single good run (w/o traffic or limp), so I'm going to head back for the NCRC event on the 7th to try again. Should be a good time, will start a thread on it.
