    So, since I don't qualify for Nik's cargo trip, I'll be driving out to RA for this even with a friend of mine. This year will be my 5th at Road America and I can't imagine missing this race. You can get tons of tracktime at VERY fast track that has killer good facilities.

    Anyway, just a couple points. ASRA uses Westhold timing units, so don't worry about charging your Ambit. You can rent them from ASRA for the weekend, but bring velcro & duct tape, and if you have a small bike, stronger springs to hold those oversized chunks up (j/k). Here's where you can find more -- http://www.ccsracing.us/timingandscoring.html

    If you're into music and drinking, SummerFest goes on that same weekend in Milwaulkee (http://www.summerfest.com/). They usually have great music there and they often have country, too.

    Jim,

    Why don't you qualify? There aren't qualifications dude! If I wrote something that comes off like that sorry, I need to delete it. Either way it will be fun to see you out there! Looking forward to it. Maybe you'll be able to show us the ropes a bit!

    Thanks for the heads up on the festival

    You still in for Topeka?

    I think so. There are lots of life changes for me in the next few months, but I really want to make this one as well.

    Jon, it's always on July 4th weekend. I'm sure there are summer camps in Wisconsin!

    I sure hope it's in the pits and not just when you're lapping me. Oh, and I have a tentative appointment with your mother-in-law & her boss toward the end of this year.

    Ha absolutely not the case! Took me a second, but at first I thought you were cracking a joke about an "appointment" with her How is the chicken wing feeling?
