Who else is going? I see Pat, Dave Schotz, and Larry Petrucci in FS, and BigEnos Burdette and Joel "AUTOwrXER" Fehrman in ESP.
I just signed up. Well, sort of. I'm not particularly happy by the fact that Robert Palmblad signed up in FS as #34, despite telling me at the beginning of the season that he would stop trying to sign up for that number. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) I signed up as #134. I will see what happens. If the problem persists next year, I will simply do what Joel did to ensure his number for Nationals, and mail in my registration in April. And sign up for all events at the beginning of the year via mail (if they don't just open registration for all right away). Karen |

I'll be there as well, hopefully with a healed back. Meaning I'll be there driving in pain if I have to like the Toledo Pro; found out today I've torn a ligament in my lower back.

Well I can't go....I would try to squeeze in the Finale if I hadn't hit so many cones this past weekend. Two 3rds aren't great but it's not 'that' bad.
I can't afford to take a week of un-paid leave at work and I really can't afford two new front tires AND the Finale (if I were to go) So for now I'm just keeping an eye on my front tires trying to make them last as many local events as possible. Good luck to EVERYONE, and I'll be there next year. |

I'll be there, FS #48 (got my number reserved before George Williams! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Showing up Friday before the Finale and will try and squeeze in Sat and/or Sun on the north course warmup.

I'm definitely going, not sure if I'm doing the warmup or the ProFinale though. Gonna depend on whether I get in or not of course. A fifth and a third isn't so good, though.

Holy cow I just looked and the warmup events are full! Well shoot I hope I get in the finale!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Otherwise maybe I'll just show up on Wednesday (not really).
This sucks I knew I should have signed up for it back in may. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant2.gif) |

I think the warmups are kind of like local autocrosses -- even though registration is full/closed, if you show up early that morning, you can still weasel your way in. My co-driver and I got in in '01 w/o pre-registering ... I know Pat Salerno and Mike Johnson got in late Sunday last year without pre-registering. My plan is to show up early, early, early Saturday and just hang out until I get a spot. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

We're not gonna make it this year, either. Not enough billable time under my belt this year, and no progress on the new engine. Don't want to show up with the weaknut 305 we had there last time. :-)
Best of luck to all going. Stop by the CP party and have a Margarita for us! |

so far 60 drivers in SS - that's probably going to be the whole run group.... was 7 national champions when we were up to 55 entries and Molleker still hasn't signed up yet.
After the past few weeks I think I'll do pretty well (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Looking forward to it. And my home region is paying my entry fees (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I'll have to see Nat's again next year because I won't be going this year. Wife has been out of work for 2 months because of a car accedent and is only back part time as of today. I just can't see spending $2500 (new tires, gas to tow there, hotel for 8 days, etc) to go to Topeka; that kind of money pays for all of next season.
Sorry Brian, you guys don't have a class for the Finale now. This post has been edited by pknowles: Aug 30 2005, 08:13 PM |

Sorry you can't make it, Phil. I missed it last year, but I'll be going this year dammit even if I have to drive the car out and leave the Big Ragu at home to afford it.
As far as having a class, that's not a biggie for me. I wasn't really looking at the possibility of making the challenge anyway. I'm just looking to get some TNT on the surface before the SoloII event. |
