YAY!!!!

[GreenCactus]

Can everyone please let me know their numbers and what color you want? I'll be making them next week.

[cmcveay]

I used to know how to check my number. I used the pull down menu and selected "0" (yep, zero). Anyone know how to verify the number?

 

Okay, I found it. I'm ZERO.

 

White or Red, whichever is easiest for you.

I'm going to come but just as a spectator/cheering section. Is there anything I can bring for you guys? I have several folding chairs, a tent if it's hot, and a big cooler.

That's weird, but it's not on the site anymore. I'll just make a bunch.

 

Why are you in Stock? Shouldn't you be in Tuner? I just noticed Mark's in Stock as well...

Can anyone tell me why I don't get notifications when I get responses to threads? I have the notification set to do so. It used to. Weird:stupid:

I think if you miss hitting the link on a notification email for a thread it unsubscribes you. I will also subscribe at the forum level so that I don't miss anything.

Hmm. Well whatever I did it's working again now. I'll take it!:top:

BMWNCC just posted there are only 9 spots left and they will not be taking walk ups, so if you are interested in going this Saturday, you should register ASAP!

[cmcveay]

I'm 50/50 on making it for Auto X now. We've got a lot of work to get the Condo ready to show and it's not fair for me to leave it all to Lona. I'll know for sure on Friday.

 

If I am able to go, I can throw our pop up in the back of the car so there's room to sit out of the sun. Participants won't have any time to sit around, they'll be working or driving but our spectators deserve to spectate in comfort!

Since I'm refusing to do actual work, I put together this spreadsheet with all of the times from autocross. Each person has their own tab so you can easily see how your time compares with everyone elses.

Okay, how do we break the news to Ali that she is the new Captain Slow?

She might not be for long. I went back to the past results and she's improved a lot! So, watch out...:rock:

YEAH!!!!!

 

I'm just figuring it out now

[cmcveay]

I do believe the gauntlet has been thrown down. To help Ali, I've offered up the use of a set of summer performance tires in the hope that they will be a little "stickier" which, in turn, will help improve confidence, speed and times.

 

I can honestly say that I was very (pleasantly) surprised at how Merlin did on Saturday and I was happy to stay 3/10th's of a second behind Haemish.

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

But can any of us beat Phil?

[cmcveay]

If remove the valve stems from his tires, someone will beat him!
