Bill is definately comming this year. He is trying to decide if he is going to drive his chuck wagon or if he is going to ride with me.. Here is the deal.. If he rides with me there is no way I would ever have all that food in my car.. I mean that stuff weighs 100s of pounds when you consider the coolers.. I never ever ever want to pull up to a destination again open the door and have a bag of 100 bread rolls fall out. I mean it was funny but a little embarassing as well. :oops:

RTT Ready Tip Number 2

With 56 days until RTT2013, my next tip is Tires.

RTT will require a good set of performance oriented tires. Make sure there is ample tread left. Are your tires old? Check for cracking in the tire. If in doubt, replace them.

Tires are (IMHO) the most important safety part on your car. They are what connect your car to the road. If you don't stay connected, you are probably going to have a "bad time".

Looking for tires, I like the tire rack (tirerack.com). Not only are they great to deal with, they also hosted 5erFest. They are top notch.

Keep er shiny side up.

I have no idea how we are going to pull it off, but Noah's graduation present is going to be the 10th Anniversary Vintage and RTT 13. Reservations have just been made at the Mt. Airy Hampton, as that seems to be a good RTT spot. I am bordering on giddy, since we missed last year. See you guys soon. Woo hoo!

Looking forward to seeing you guys on the roads of West Virginia.....Let Noah know there is a casino night...

One person in our group last year got hauled upstairs because they ( The security cameras and Pit boss) thought he was counting cards... He was interrogated and then set free.. Anyone know who that was? Never a dull moment at RTT.hahahahahaha

I seem to recall an incident where an RTT crew member was escorted out of the casino and later returned and won some $$.

And, locked and loaded.....reservations confirmed at the Hampton Inn, Mount Airy. :alright: :ohyeah: :rockon:

Well that's awful. Makes me feel a little better about not being able to make it myself, though.
