    Bill, I am running with Misti Cain's team "the purple pinballs", a pair of 1st gen Neons. One is standard and the other automatic. I'll check the driver status, but one of the conditions is the driver's "build"... We are all of medium sized drivers including 2 small females and we don't want to deal with changing seats... the cost is approx. $300 per driver plus any personal expenses for food, lodging and travel...

    I drove for Frank Robertson at the last event and he had a large seat to accommodate his large "frame"... I got some bruising from sliding back and forth through the chicane... I have some pads made for my hips incase I'm invited to drive for him in the future...

    David....sounds good....would love to hitch a ride in the standard Neon. I am 5'9" and 180 lb...so I hope I would be classified as a "Medium" driver.

    If anyone else has an opportunity please let me know.....we have a few other drivers in our shop that are looking for paid rides as well.

    Thanks

    Bill

    I'm in! so what do we get?!

    Actually, I am now on a mission. I saw one of my cousins this Xmas and 9 months ago he weighed 310lbs. He is now 185 and looks fantastic...no joke. You would never know he was so heavy. I started the same diet a month ago and have already lost 18lbs... holidays are killing me though so it's back on the wagon today.
    Ah, fugg it.
