I'm not doing the Friday pre-LS track day (learned my lesson about that last time!) so I'm aiming to get there mid-afternoon on Friday.

I’m going to get up early on Saturday morning (famous last words) and make some pit space with Ian so all these Exocets that are supposed to be coming can pit with us. I think I’m going to be the only non-turbo of the bunch

My friend is going to drive my $350 NA6 that has been sitting behind my garage for a couple of years under a tarp.

The place we ate last year is called Elli's Great American Restaurant | Salinas Restaurant and Bar

I think last year I just called them and said "yeah, we are going to show up with a buttload of people and want to sit on the patio." They were very confused but had no problem not taking a reservation

We are rebels and blow off the shindig on Saturday night.

Hopefully I can get my butt down there Friday night and get my stuff and some free BBQ

He drives old E30s in Lemons races, he’ll be fine...
It only has 222K on it but we are fixing that with a 122K cluster.
We’ve been working on a long list of maintenance and performance parts, but as the weekend draws closer we have had to do some prioritizing. (safety over performance) Like maybe we should fix the brakes before we try putting on a header, test pipe, and exhaust

Not true! Mine is non-turbo

But I'll be driving down Friday, and will likely be back on Saturday as well.

Isn't that what high-school age kids are for?

Anyone want to buy me out of my Saturday C Group slot?

I've had some personal stuff come up in the last couple weeks and its going to be better for me if I don't attend this year. Turbofan grabbed my Sunday C, but my Saturday C is on the block. I'll probably throw this out on Facebook and m.net and see if anyone is interested there as well. Shoot me a PM or whatever and we can work out the details.

What, you didn't appreciate the drunk combo anti-vaxxer and the bible thumper floor show last year?

Yes NB! I'm going to make another one out of aluminum strap but since I've got a stock-size battery again, thinking maybe would be best to just run stock hold down. Thanks! If you find it, lmk how much you want for it.
