Aug 2011 TWS - What are we gonna do?

[GlennCMC70]

I don't have a head count yet and I don't have a schedule. I've heard rumors that the track will be hot till 8pm Sat night, but I can't get that confirmed. Be prepaired for some deviations from the norm.

I figure we can do our normal Rudy's dinner Friday night around 7pm as always. I'm open for other ideas (and no Bryan, we don't want to go to Ozona's - j/k'ing).
Dave said he was going to get w/ the track snack shack and see if they will stay opem late Sat night and see if the main gate will stay open later as well. Not sure if we want to plan another dinner GTG Sat - schedule dependant.

I'll likely not be racing, so that should help car count.
Marshall will be absent from this event, so I'll be the Lone Ranger. Cut me some slack and please ask if you can help me w/ anything. I'm sure Al and Todd will lend a hand if needed.


Please please please start hydrating on Monday before the race weekend. You cannot wait until Sat morning to get fluids in your body. That just is not enough lead time. It is going to be stupid hot. Please come prepaired.

Check here often for updates over the next couple weeks.

I plan to be there with a couple of fiiends coming along. I suspect the car count will down though because of the freaking heat.

Every year I seriously consider skipping this hotter than hell event.

I'll be there to help anyone that needs it, but I won't be driving.

Harman, my dog, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in her lower jaw. It's very aggressive but tests (Monday) showed it had not yet metastasized. We opted for surgery (Tuesday) to remove the affected half of her mandible. Everything went well and her mouth looks amazingly normal... my racing budget is toast though.

Whoop for having one of the top vet schools in the nation within a few miles of my house!

Have fun. I will be in Ouray, Colorado where the temps will be in the mid 40 in the AM and mid 70's in the afternoon. After blowing the engine last year at Hallett and missing my first race (TWS last August) I found I did not care to race in August anymore. I can skip it and not miss it at all. Hard on the car and really hard on an old man. You all watch out for Randy now okay.

Hope things go well for your pal. My daughter is pre-vet currently and probably finish up her schooling at A&M - definately a good school.Anyway, I signed up already so I'll see the few of you there. Rudy's Friday night sounds good.

I just got a new job working nights and am on call 7 days a week. As much as I would love to come play with you guys at my home track, unless I am off call that weekend and come somehow swing friday night off as well I will mostly likely be a no show all together. I dont see me getting off 6AM Saturday morning and trying to race with you guys that day a very safe thing from my perspective....of course I could always really on enery drinks, gatorade and adreneline but very doubtful. If the status changes I will let people know.

Suck's to have to grow up.

So true... on both accounts.
