    Ask Brent about the fancy new Lexan quarter windows he has, and why he needed them.

    BTW, this event will be beauty and the beast in the Red Raisin. I'll leave it to you to determine which is which.

    I don't know... It didn't come, or go any faster for that matter when I called it Sparky.

    We decided to make it easier for Mark to weld the rear cage footplates by taking the windows out...
    25 yo glass + 2 guys in need of food using screwdrivers = boom (not a big boom, more like an Achmed boom) :eek3:


    I thought you DIDN'T want the course to rut up??

    Yeah, but Dave, you know how much Amy loves pin turns and she will dominate you again.

    you silly silly girl...last time I raced against Amy was last year...and let's just say there was no domination either way. The only person i cannot let beat me is the ginger...since he's driving my car this weekend. lol.....it's going to get real interesting when I heckle at him from the passenger seat...but that might come back to bite me in the ass when it's my turn to drive.

    I can't make the event for the full day, but I am going to try to stop by for lunch/fundraising. Is lunch only over a certain time period?

    So what's the plan with weather...if it's canceled how soon would we know?

    I'm guessing that status would be updated here?

    Generally we don't cancel events unless the site is unusable. Looks like everyone should bring their rain gear!

    Oh sweet! I thought I read somewhere in the thread that if it got too muddy we wouldn't run.

    we need to get him ready for stage rally...he can only use three wheels, no steering wheel, and a co-driver must be in the car puking...:) that should slow him down a bit, right? lol...i know, I know...it will probably just make him even faster...

    maybe at cannon falls...but thank goodness Raceway Park has a sand and gravel base...so even if it rains two inches we should be okay

    I am riding with him...I won't be puking, though. If I can co-drive for Mark and not puke, I should be safe at a RallyCross. As for three wheels and no steering wheel, that would probably not go over so well with our Tech inspector or Safety Steward! Plus it would piss Brent off, and that would make him go faster!

    A few cars got stuck, usually from sliding into the snow banks, however. It was a great event!

    If you need to cross the Minnesota River, best bet is to use 169 and turn off at 101.
    101 and 41 are closed across the river.
