    Still??!! I knew he tried to stop it the first year when it was a fireblades.org day, but is he still at it? What a prick. Another one of many reasons I no longer ride with them.

    While I don't know who they're referring to, I know it has nothing to do with FBO as they don't run trackdays.

    Without going into detail, I would say a difference of opinion brought on a new beginning.

    But that is all water under the bridge.

    Right, it has nothing to do with fireblades, I was just pointing out that this other trackday provider tried to prevent our event from happening that many years ago. I would have hoped he'd given up trying to sabotage our event...

    while I don't know who you're talking about I don't see what his problem is. It's a private event so its none of his business.

    I should have held out for more Miller offers before spilling the beans!

    Don't worry, no one's ever regretted coming to Miller. Plus, you'll get the satisfaction of kicking my butt on my home track.

    Oh, and Thanks, Abtech!

    HondaGal won't be able to make it next year, she already knows that she'll be on a big project at work next Summer. I'll get there, though!

    I have no doubt that the chevelle will have the power to pull the trailer... I think that if we start the collection plate passing now I "may just" have enough to make it there and half way back.

    I SO badly want to do miller next year, and I am REALLY trying to talk JBD and VS into coming along for the trip. I think that if we lean on them hard enough they'll cave
    See you at GRATTAN

    Don't sweat it. Miller has been on my planning calendar the last two years and it's on there again for next year.

    I guess I'm a little spoiled too. It takes me 1 1/2 hrs...if I go the speed limit. Down side is to go anywhere else would take forever.
