I'll be there on Sunday foo sho... working tech as usual, so all you guys are going to have to bribe me if you want your cars to pass.

Seriously though, anyone who is attending for your first time don't be shy about asking for an instructor to ride with you. Its also a good idea to participate in the Novice course walk. Everyone is very helpful and we all WANT you to have a good time so you keep coming back for your fix.

its gonna be freezing cold but there will be plenty of runs to keep us satisfied. One more tip, try to stay off the cones; freezing temps+hard cones=busted front lips if you're not careful.

you should try to make it out if you can, even if its just to watch (which is free). there will be a good EVO turnout.

Cool. Is this gonna be your first event? lots of other EVO's will be there, Chu is the only one proactive enough to pre-reg.

Just got word my wheels have finally shipped!!! I had to wait for them to arrive in this country as the vendor didn't tell me they weren't in stock when I ordered them on the 4th.

Now I just need rubber... (and a few other things )

The R1R are useless below 30..the R-comps are forbidden at these temps. And cone killing..I am very good at hitting those..if I was only as good getting around the course. I'm old and get lost alot. Pete
