You're welcome, but it is the 26th, not the 26rd.

If Nikki cant come, I will be riding shotgun with Mark and Sia again this year.

Cousin Billy's suspension break down from last year, RTT12.

Lots of people pitched in to lend a hand, including Adam (ldsbeaker), MouseheadM5 (Paul), a (Andy), Rodney (rmiddendorf), just to name a few.

You'd think Twisty was some kind of "Soup Nazi" or something. Just include a little cash with all applications and everything will be fine.

I'm going to try to get my butt down there for part of this, even if I have to leave before the end.

Wish me luck.

Mr lucky is in and I will be bringing the H5s. That last day was some fun driving. Best store run I've ever had. The drive from Bristol to the casino was epic, 6 hours of twisties in the middle of gods country.

As always it's a great time with good friends and cool cars. Plus we get to go to the casino and fill our pockets with money. :banana:

Ok..

I just spent a few hours tuning up and tweaking the RTT website.

Let me know if anybody who is registering has any issues. There is a little bit of untested code but it should be all good...

HAHA..

I should be able to do something... but it does depend on a few variables at this point...

... will Heinz be ready if I start the engine refresh?
... if I don't do the engine refresh will I be comfortable bringing Heinz here after the Vintage?
... do I just bring Bella on the whole trip this time?
... how much time off 'work' will the wife let me have?

Sorry man.. I forgot to add the automatic "Shermo" registration approval into the system.

You are now Approved. It was a special expedited approval.

Well, Nikki is out...

So now my biggest choice is do I drive the Golf anyway, or ride shotgun again...

Underpowered commuter car or M5.. hmmm...
