Yes sir, that is the plan. Others who may attend are Simmonz and Mr. Shoe. I think this will be more than worthy, crazy amount of space to work with, some more of you's should go.

the holbert sucks, IMO. I'm just saying that cause I suck at driving and have no shot of winning.

I would say unless you drive a cart or an F mod you have no chance of winning Holbert this year. I think Adam will have it in the bag unless he cones every run, which is quite possible with him . Warminster favors carts and F mods big time, it is kind of unfair to have Holbert there IMO. I think it should be at one of our other locations going forward in the idea of fairness to all competitors (of which most of them have cars).

I am thinking of doing Meadowlands this Sunday, but it will be a tight schedule for that and BBQ. According to posted event schedule, the AM session Sunday would be done by 1:00. I would be home approx. 3:30, unload, shower then leave by 4:30ish. Where is Ben's house?
Any other BBQ attendees have an interest in going to Meadowlands?

A warminster course always consists of the following:
Slaloms
Transitions
1-2 sweepers of which one is always the turn around at back end of course

the problem is the runway is not wide enough to allow for up and back parts of course. We are always stuck with very similar layout courses with not enough elements in the courses (ie. sweepers, chicago box, s turns, etc etc think CBP).
So my point is that carts and Fmods transition and slalom better than any car by far. That makes it almost impossible to beat them the way the PAX calculations are done presently, so its almost not fair.

in some non-racing work related news I just had an interesting meeting that feel the need to share.

my boss called me in his office to show me some profit margin goals he calculated based on previous years. He said we need to be in the 5-6% range and currently we're at 3-4%. I noticed an error in his calucaltion, so I pointed it out and made the correction to his formula and it turns out our profits are in the 12-18% range (based on his whack *** formula, its really closer to 10% if you do it correctly but I wasn't telling him that). so I'm more than double the margins he has set in place yet some how he tells me I still need to do better because the company isn't making any (read:enough) money. Right after the meeting he left to go golfing... FML.

Your boss is the man! Can he teach me how to do that?
