Not sure about the SCCA events, are they part of a SCCA race weekend like NASA?

SCCA usually is just race weekends unless it specifically says PDX.

Nothing more romantic than a getaway in the south, plus a fancy dinner at the Plantation.

Just cut out the track stuff and hanging out with grubby racing pals

Full course is what we want, but Lou said the NASA dates may already be booked up.

They haven't even opened registration for NASA ones...can't be full already!

Is Track DAze really that more time though? The NASA event I went to the other weekend had 3 x 25 min sessions = 75 min, while apparently TD are 4 x 20 min = 80 min...I think it just feels like you get more when you have 4 sessions v. 3.

I am in for a VIR Condo weekend, as well (assuming my rollbar install gets done in time). When's the event?

It will be great to see you out there, Ken. We can help you with a roll bar install, infact I will offer my house for a place to do it. I've installed roll bars few times already and I have all the tools needed for it.

Let me know.

Who is we and where do you live? I will need some help with my bar in the near future.

It's me, myself, and I.

Get with Ken set up a date together envite few peeps and we will do it at my place, make sure there is no precepitation on that day. Eight or less is good number that will fit in my open driveway.

Hell I'm in Woodbridge so I can at least come and mingle and help where I can. Just remember, when ordering a new bar it takes a couple weeks for them to make and ship the thing (at least was that way for me), so plan accordingly.

Not NASA, but the condos might be. The Octoberfast awards banquet is a good time.
