I just signed up for the Sunday, 8/3 date. It looks like Shenders1 and tm_dearborn are going to be joining me. Any chance of you pushing it back one day?

Anyone else want to join us? CBRVFR? eyauch? DEPO? BakeTech?

That's tempting...but it's just one day? Long drive for me for one day. I'm planning on being there again with NESBA Aug 16 & 17...

I wasn't going to bother with a garage (can you get them at A2A events?). I'll have my EZ-Up alongside my enclosed trailer and will probably set up somewhere at the far end of the upper paddock.

It's not looking like TMDearborn is going to make it after all - Big new job eating him alive.

You guys have a great time

The A2A group are awesome people.

If you see this awesome couple (Brent Bennett's parents) that is helping Brent at the Pirelli's tent, please send them my love. I think I am smootching my way for them to adopt me...
