Auto-X has always been on sunday .

I don't give a damn what we do , just so we come up with a 100% plan before too much time goes by . I don't even give a damn about missing the auto-x at this point ...
 
there's no way, cause i was at the auto-x and the only reason i can say it wasn't sunday was cause i remember what i was wearing that day (crazy i know) and it wasn't what i drove home in (my pj's).

but anyway, relax - we can go friday, just leave at 0 dark thirty.

i don't know wtf i'm gonna do if i find a roomate, as they're probably leaving on sunday...but i'll sleep in the damn car if i have to.

Chris, just a heads up...I'll need to stop quite a few times on the way out and back. My shoulder can't take the car ride so it will be a longer ride if you travel with us.
Just wanted you to know before hand. Both Allen and Paul are aware already.
 
Very doubtful that the auto-x was on saturday ... doesn't matter anyway .

I really don't care what day we leave , just that we make up our minds soon - I hate changing reservations as the hotel is usually a PITA about it . Plus , we need to clear any/all changes with Paul ... who is also going (and IIRC just started a new job and may have trouble changing plans) . If we do thurs-sun I will be skipping the auto-x .

And BTW - there will be no triple-digit speeds to/from spring zing - noone has extra $$$$ for tickets .
 
I have no idea really.
If I don't stop I will end up with a vicious migraine and won't been seen the whole time. Hell, even if I do stop many times I may end up the same way.

I may not go anyway so you might not have to worry about it. I really don't want to hold anyone up and I know it's a PITA. I have trouble riding in the SVT for an hour let alone 11 hours.

I just posted the event schedule for GP's. Not saying you were wrong at all, just posted it so we could all see it without going back to the SZ thread to see it.
 
I did pay and the reservation, I can cancel. The registration, I'm not worried about, Todd can use it for extras.

There are two issues on why I may not go: one, the long ride and my shoulder issue. Muscle spasms in my shoulder and neck= a migraine for me.

The other, well, that's not important really. My big concern is the ride. I was hoping to trailer the car out and ride in the Exploder which is more comfortable but I can't pull the car and trailer with it.

If you can't make spring zing , MJ and I will be very sad , but I understand and can sympathize . Still hope you can go , as it will most likely be my last spring zing .
 
Jeez by the time i get to go to these things its like there will be a new northeast CEG going. With you guys saying it will be your last ones i guess some of us younger members(that still have there tours) will have to pick up the slack.
 
We're working on the smaller details Chris and should have the answer soon.
