              I should have followed along last year. I was in a slump when we went to BG. After seeing the cars and talking to a few people I came home and managed to get my slug self-mobile again. One year I will groupie DW and maybe if all the planets in all the galaxies align, I'll be able to participate one year.

                  My boss is a gear head, I think I'd be found out =P That being said, if I happen to lose my job in the next three days, I would load up the Skylark and be on the road two hours later. =P I don't really want to lose my job, but if I did =P

                    wtf? I got the email with all the other guys who finished 1-2-3, and I happened to be on the ball, and signed up within an hour of getting the email. If I were an insider, I would not have been worried about it, and I would have taken my time.

                      1. It was a joke (to be read in context of a couple of years of "insider" banter on this forum).

                      2. Isn't admitting that you got a "head start" e-mail about a week before the 8-minute "land-run" fiasco the rest of us outsiders had to get through essentially an ADMISSION THAT YOU'RE AN INSIDER!


                      BTW, didn't Eddie Miller mention something about Gasser/AFX being a "soft class"? . . . or not . . .

                          Nice! I did that in 2009 and 2010, then finally went in 2011. This year I'll be at my desk at work Monday through Thursday hoping meetings don't pull me away from my desk until the live feed is over. The time change is going to be a bit rough, I think they'll be starting about the time I start work and I have two meetings for the first hour.....

                            I wish I could go. Going to go light $2 on fire, errr buy a lotto ticket. I think winning would be the only way I could make it this year.

                              I feel your pain. I did participate in 2005-6 and had a blast. Just 13 second cars both times, but to be able to run the 1/4 5 days in a row, and watch the big boys go at it = priceless. Sigh. I feel your pain.
