Hoping this rain clears up for tomorrows drive to T-burg

That is cheap as far as Skip Barber goes and a great deal for sure. The cheapest though appears to be Mid-Ohio. But the school there has some uninspiring cars as they have to showcase Honda's current product line.

very cool. You can become a sponsor you know

I'd love to have a custom mount for the S2000

This is a bit alarming:

Reported By:NYSDOT: closed on NY 14 in both directions from Start NY 414 overlap to Clawson Boulevard; NY 224 due to flooding starting 2:27:00 AM, 9/8/2011 until further notice. Comment: Closed due to flooding.

That is just a hair south of where we do our parade laps...and where we are meeting before AM registration tomorrow...

Also closed are sections of roads in Binghamton. Not trying to sound alarmist, but everyone please be cautious and take your time getting there.
