We’re off! And by we I mean my teammates Andy and Mike. Teammate #3, Christo Tinkov of OneHotLap.com, is driving his M Coupe is leaving after rush hour tonight. I’ll be lucky to leave Boston before midnight, but I am lucky to be going at all. You see, I have two little kids and my wife is letting me go for the entire Mothers’ Day weekend. She’s actually been very accommodating about the whole thing which I find really surprising, in a surprising sort of way. She’s Italian, and by Italian I mean Sicilian… I have no idea what’s going on and no idea what to expect when I get back home.
Aside from averaging four hours of interrupted sleep per night, I am doing ok-ish. The good news is that I am not nervous like last time because a) I know what to expect and b) I don’t have the time to be nervous. After I get home at 7:00pm I have to put the kids to bed, clean up, pack, and drive. Hopefully I won’t forget too much stuff along the way.
If you’re going to be at the race, stop by and say hi. Unfortunately due to depleted inventory and someone’s (name sounds like Geff Bluger) failure to re-order, I won’t have any stickers or t-shirts to give away. 🙁

We eagerly await further report of your inevitable domination and victory!
And if you go home to an empty house. 😉
Just be sure to bring her some of Joisey's fines souvenirs, and I'm sure you'll be fine…
To be on the safe side, though, don't dent the car too badly, it might be your only shelter for a while…
We're (NJ) supposed to be in for a good thunderstorm on Saturday. That'll make things interesting…
Best wishes!
Our team's racing is suffering a significant short-term setback (but long-term gain) in that we just got the keys to a house this week. It's very much a fixer-upper, but at least the large shop in the back yard is in good shape. I'm looking forward to having a shop.
What the hell made them have the race that is closest to me on Mothers Day weekend? I wish I could get down there but family crap is getting in the way.
Cheap track time?
