Some advice needed from those of you who have been to MITM before. What sort of items should we make sure we don't forget to pack? I assume it gets cool at night so jackets are suggested. Is there a need for chairs or a blanket? How about a small cooler? I suppose detailing accessories if you want ...

Re: Calendar?

Hey everyone, I was doing some routine house cleaning through my web server and was wondering if you were ever going to use the calendar that I installed for you in April?

The condo Laurie has checked into looks really nice and has a beautiful view from two balconies. If anyone is planning to go, you might give it consideration plus the price is good. :)

I LOVE this event!! Wednesday we had a track day at Kansas Speedway and we were bummed when we were limited as to how fast we could drive-and a low limit it was. I was pleasantly surprised on my first set of laps at the permissible speed. I was expecting the 30 MPH parade laps that seem to take pla...

I'd like to do a rally in my Mini one day...it sounds like fun. I think there might be a communication problem between driver and navigator...(she's a bit noisy...)
