Hello everybody,
I just wanted to give an update and an idea of travel plans for this weekend.
The weather looks like typical RA weather 50s and overcast. We race in the rain but lets hope it doesn't.

My plan is to leave sometime early Friday afternoon. I have to get a slick picked up and mounted in Milwaukee. Google says it should take me 4 hours to get to RA. If i get there early enough (before 6ish) I will drop the trailer and car off at the track. Check in and Tech is either Friday night or Saturday morning.
Nate is being nice enough to let me borrow his open trailer and "truck" to tow Bonzai up there. We will not have the shelter and storage of the enclosed trailer this year.
I recommend packing layers of clothes to keep up with the weather changes. Drivers and passengers are required to have long sleeves, full pants, and closed toe shoes. Also need a valid DOT or SNELL 2005 and up helmet. I will also be bringing swim trunks as we have a hot tub and i think there is an indoor pool. Also bring a folding chair unless you want to stand the whole time. There are some great spots to spectate various parts of the track.
Friday night after we get settled, we usually head to the brown bear bar for some drinks and dinner.
I have only signed up for racing on Saturday. If the weather is good on Sunday and everything has gone well, I will most likely buy some sessions for Sunday. They usually let us do this.
Passengers are allowed in the C group and up but you must get verified by an instructor first. Most of the instructors will gladly give someone a ride along for a small cash fee. Gotta pay for gas and tires somehow :)
