^^ So does this mean you have not gotten pregnant yet?

I ain't camping with out a DAMN good reason... and the only reason good enough would have to include something I need another person for

And now since I don't have decals I would have to buy a ticket which I can not afford either. And no one wants a plus one for the weekend

Ya know, if I had read this a week ago I would have been PM'ing you for details...
As I had no F1 to go to this year I thought last winter I would do a Lime Rock or a Mid-Ohio ALMS camping trip to fill in the gap. The problem was tyhey were too close to my driving school at Mosport coming up 7/21-7/22. But, based upon the house needing a new roof and shingles being made out of gold nowadays I cancelled my Mosport plans, and camping at Mid-Ohio would have been a very real option.

Enjoy the race, Mid-Ohio is one of my favorite tracks, bot as a driver and a spectator. I have camped there many, many times going back to the IMSA Gamel GT and Firestone Firehawk days.

Well, you know, you've still got a few days before the race...

Here is the information..
Pete (Pgarrett) has spent countless hours working on this... I really hope we do this one "right", and it becomes an annual event (similar to what Florida has for the St.Pete race).. What I enjoy even more about this weekend is that it has Indy, ALMS, Speed World Challenge, GT3 , etc..

Hope you can still load up the truck and come out for the weekend

Already made plans for this upcoming weekend. I'm putting the final touches on my fall Sporting Roadster Tour, and even that is enjoyed by 260 some people/130 cars. Thanks though.

FYI - don't know how many of you watch IRL, ALMS and F1, however the networks have conspired this week so you can not Tivo all 3, they overlap on times

The best I came up with was to tape ALMS & IRL on Sunday and go for the repeat of F1 shown on Wednesday.

I am gone from Friday until Wed anyway so it's not a problem for me to wait until then Cross posting in IRL thread...

IRL is getting the short end of the stick on my DVR this weekend.
