I remember that before TWS and Morgan showed up wearing an eye patch. I had a patch as well after the doc put a piece of titanium to hold up my eye after a boat crash.Quote:

Damn good Italian food at Robanos Italian Kitchen. The middle guy is Ronnie, the owner.

Sounds like a hell of a crash! What did they attach the titanium to?Quote:

Since it didn't produce power it was an open 30' deep pool of ultra-pure water (any impurities would be activated by the neutrons in the reactor and become radioactive). When the reactor was on it produced a really cool blue glow, but 30' of water is a very efficient shield and there was negligible radiation exposure standing next to the pool.
For those that are curious, the cause of the blue light is Cerenkov radiation where the neutrons are essentially going through water faster than the speed of light through water.

Congrats Mitch! Just don't bore her in her teen years with stories of "Back in my day, we raced cars with only 230hp!"
My new credit card came in today. Seemed fitting considering what's charged on it.

Congrats pawpaw on the new baby. :D
Nice credit card Gary.. I can't quite make out the numbers though. ;)
We wouldn't be able to read them anyway, they're all in Scottish...Quote:

Congrats to everyone!!! MSR-H should be fun!
Signed up at fomula1.com to get notices on tickets as well as being on the COTA list.
November will be here before you know it... is there a group plan?
I'm waiting for the cheaper seats. The $100 deposit sounded fair until I realized that's for the $1000+ seats.Quote:

I'm down for a group adventure!
I don't know if Jerry remembers, but he offered his shop as a place for Darcie and I to crash (as in sleep). Definitely taking him up on that... I plan on making F1 noises while sitting in the 55 car too.
No the $100.00 is a deposit on a $1000.00 preferred seat license.Quote:

My car lives at my house so I don't know how you can get in the 55
I thought we were all bringing campers and setting up an Occupy 55 camp at Jerry's shop. :D
I sure would like to go....but depends on pricing of tickets on if I go or not.
I'm praying to little 6lb 8oz baby jesus that the "sit on a grassy hill wherever you can find room tickets" are in the ~$100ish range. Gets higher than that and I'm out (have to buy at least 2, Laura will kill me if I go alone... )
First dibs under the RV.Quote:

James, you are welcome to set-up an RV at my shop. No problem. If the price is too high to bring the RV inside I hope to park outside the track and camp the whole weekend like they do at TMS. My wife does not understand why since it's only about thirty miles from the house. Traffic will be a bitch. I don't really want a seat I just want to move around from turn to turn. Maybe I can get the Ruckus inside even if I can't afford to get the RV in.Quote:

Do any of the GoPro users have an extra tripod mount that I could use for the weekend?
(Procrastination is my middle name...)
I have a tripod mount but it's not the GoPro one. May or may not help you. I also have the GoPro suction cup mount and a bunch of adapters and doodads that came with it. Probably the same stuff that came with yours. In any case, you're welcome to rummage through it all and cobble together a FrankenMount if all else fails.
I will also bring all the stuff from my Drift camera, just incase.
Anyone going to Daytona?
Just talked to richard painter, they are headed down there.........
My DVR is the only one who is going to "never blink" and catch all the action... for me to watch over the next 8 weeks probably.Quote:
