April 15 - WAI #1

[magicsammy]

I am planning on going. Anybody want to split a room?

Co-drive available.

[AlexL]

Maybe. I'm weather dependant.

[magicsammy]

well, me too, actually

[shane86]

Ohh... if i wasn't so busy and broke from trying to get my own car together, i'd be all over this.

[magicsammy]

Looks like Mr. Mensch will be co-driving with me.

If someone just wants a place to crash on some floor space (bring an air bed), we can rent a room at Comfort Suites or whatever it is called.

Otherwise I think I will just get a room at Red Roof, a little ****her out but cheaper

[magicsammy]

oh, come on!

f-a-r-t-h-e-r

who is offended by that word? :?

[stoooo]

oh, come on!

f-a-r-t-h-e-r

who is offended by that word? :?
This one crops up pretty often. Try 'further' instead, and it'll work just fine.

It's funny the words it'll trim, like ****** and ****e.

I won't have tires by then - Hoosier hasn't started shipping the 275/35-15's yet.... :(

[washburn]

I don't know...Chris? Got that thing put together yet? Want some help?....call Neal. :)

I need to have Jeff align the car and mount the new tires. If I can get that done then I'd go. Or we could just run on old tires with my half as string alignment I just finished. Actually the string part for the toe I'm pretty confident on, it's the stupid "smart camber" gauge I don't trust. That thing has like a +-.4 degree fudge factor depending on how I use it. :rolleyes:

Get that thing together already so I can put it in its place. :p

Yeah, placed AHEAD of you!
:lol:

[porkbone]

I am also weather dependant. I will DEFINITELY go if the weather is going to be dry.

[AlexL]

Yeah, placed AHEAD of you!
:lol:Only if the start marshall sends me too soon. ;)

[weidnerpaul]

It's going to be a fun season watching some of this competition...

[SmokingTires]

Any one else up for a co-drive? I don't have a car that's ready to autocross yet.

I'll split the room and gas.

-Mike

[gsk8r]

I believe Ivan's answer when I asked if we were going was "if the stars align right." So that makes us weather and astronomy dependent.

[washburn]

If we do go, I will probably just get up early and make the trip down in the morning, so don't count on me in any hotel planning. I agree...would not want to go if it's wet / too cold, but that's up to Chris. Nice thing is that we can just register on site that morning.

No one? No autocross fo' me?


Alex, you have PM.

[porkbone]

Alex, you have PM.

You shouldn't have sold all your cars, you'd have something to drive! (plus if I remember correctly, Matt Murphy didn't really make a habit of traveling out of town for autoX events...)

Current forecast looks like cold and wet. Still not sure if I'm going or not.

[porkbone]

OK, Koni screwed up on my order, so now I have mismatched shocks. Revalved Koni's in the front, stock in the rear.

So I guess I won't be going this weekend, no matter what the weather looks like.

[magicsammy]

We're going! Woo-hoo! :rockon

[CDeutsch]

We're going! Woo-hoo! :rockon

Really? What was the deciding factor? The irresistible 40 degree weather? ;)

[magicsammy]

it's up to 47 and sunny. :)

I need to shake off the cobwebs - let the season begin!

49 now. I'm probably going to show up.

[washburn]

Post up what you guys are doing for rooms. If ther's a floor place or something, I may go down the night before. What are you thinking Chris?

[magicsammy]

John Mensch and I are staying at the Country Inn & Suites-Brookfield
1250 SOUTH MOORLAND ROAD, BROOKFIELD, WI 53005

(the one above the Champps) - we will be at Champps about 9pm for drinks/dinner.

We have floor space available

Steve and I have a room at:
Country Inn & Suites-Brookfield
1250 SOUTH MOORLAND ROAD
BROOKFIELD, WI 53005

Steve, do we have room for Pat?

Don't know what they have for "roll-a-ways", but I bet the floor is available. The plan is to leave early afternoon, hit Millwaukee in time for dinner.

Feel free to call my cell to track me/us down (You have a PM)

*EDIT* So I'm a little slow.....BIG deal.........er I mean I'm saving my speed for when it counts....yeah that's it

If I can find someone to split a room with I'll go. Looks like they're $104/night. I'm finishing the rear wheel studs tonight (what a PIA) and the car is getting aligned tomorrow.

I just reserved a suite at the Residence Inn in Brookfield (across the street from the Country Inn, back by the golf course). It's got two doubles and a sofabed if you guys are interested. It's $106.31 per night after tax, so it would only be about $35 per person split three ways.

Awesome! Count me in.

[washburn]

Yeah, I guess I'm in on that deal. (Best deal around the area IMO) What time you guys getting there?

Chris...PM me with your cell.

Now...where's that helmet.......

Either it's dune broke, or you're using it wrong. (at least part of the time) No issues with mine.

See you schleps in Milwaukee. We're double-dating with the Austins at the Residence Inn.

[the tick]

When is everyone expecting to get there? Should we try to hit food as a mob somewhere, or just fend for ourselves?

[washburn]

Part of the fun is "schlepping". It would be fun to meet at Champs since we're all close.

If I remember my Yiddish correctly, "schlepping" is lugging stuff around. Like, the time I schlepped a set of autocross tires all the way to Lake Geneva so Tim could fail to use them, so then I schlepped them back to Saint Paul via West Chicago. :rolleyes:

Were you thinking of "schmoozing"?

[Ivan]

Going to try to be there and checked in by 8 PM. At the bar by 8:02.
Neal's gotta work from the hotel though... <Nelson> HA ha </Nelson>

...now I've jinxed myself, I'll be getting support calls all weekend.

.[/SIZE]

I'm planning around the earliest arrival, so far that's you! Let's just say that we'll meet at Champs from 7:00 PM on. Everyone welcome!

[MNbiker]

Well, I have some new wheels sitting in the garage, but no tires to put on them yet. So I'm still out of commission for now. :(

-Steve

p.s. At least Hoosier announced the first production run of 275/35-15's is beginning next week. :rockon

[Darryl]

Nope, not this weekend... Ivan and Gretchen are taking my seat for the weekend... Have fun... See you all next weekend...
