    Who is wait listed and who's gotten the call?

    Curious who all is waitlisted and whether you've been called yet? I saw another thread with a guesstimate 20% no-show and it got me thinking about it. If you are waitlisted and / or already got the call, would you mind checking in here?

      I think I am on the list, still waiting for the call and I am working and planning as if I am in. I just talked to my co-pilot and he said, "I don't think I want to camp out if it's going to be 105 degrees", I don't either. So, I guess we will be moteling it.

              I just got an email today saying that I am #25 on the waiting list. Might make it, but maybe not, we'll see.

                    Speedie says he is 26, GH is 25... I guess that is now 24 and 23. Has anybody gotten a number higher than that?

                      My gut tells me you'll make it.. I think a LOT of people knee jerked, and jumped in, and may of had good intentions, but in reality, they will never put the effort in, or the sacrifices they must make when it comes down to it.. For us working slugs, you gotta make some adjustments in your life to get to a week long event like this, no doubt about it, and most will get cold feet and come up with a reason in their mind that will satisfy them as to why they should not go, again, human nature for most, with the exception of some of the veterans who don't have enough sense to find excuses not to go..

                          Lucky 13...

                          I got the email yesterday saying my Galaxie is #13 on the list. I'm optimistic I'll make it in with the car. Now, if the other two cars would only put themselves together I could bring all three

                            How long is it going to take you to drive from track to track Jay. Drive a mile run back drive another car, repeat.
