Hey all, just a reminder...cookout is still on for this saturday. I hope to start cooking around 12ish but who knows if it may go later. Bring your food, and I'll grill it for ya. Same with alcohol if you're drinking. It's at Dave's (niburu) and my place @ 1227 Blue Jay Ln right by regency mall in richmond. 23229 if you need a zipcode. Look forward to seeing some of you guys out there.

try the Penske rental place out in Manakin, they usually have plenty of trucks and trailers, and they are in WAY better shape than anything you'll see from U-haul

There will be a thorough drivers meeting and novice classroom session on the morning of the VIR event. After that... it's just you, and the track, and the cones. ;-)

I will definitely be attending the novice classroom session.
