Well, don't forget how fast you were going!

That is awesome!!!! I hope you hud wasn't off a lil' bit, cuz that would ruin it for me.

LOL! I haven't seen that pic in awhile.

That was Coltrane's HUD image though his windshield. He was trying to keep up. I sure hope he goes this year, Grand Prix or not, hes fun to hang out with.

That's what I get for knowing the cars and not the people's faces. Was looking for the GP not the TL and was so busy/distracted that I never got to talk to him (or quite a few members) or get my fenders rolled.

Come on now, that's only like 7 1/2 hours. I we left at the same time. You could be unpacked, full stomach, and drunk before I got there. Really, everything is pretty cheap and reasonable. Put your mind to it and save the little needed weekly to go.

I can't wait to go again this year. Its ALWAYS fun hitting that back road to the track. Hitting those hills, we were going near 100 down and up them. I think I left my bladder back on those hills when we hit it going up

And then almost rear ending Swash or Reptile when we were heading to the track cause someone decided to turn left and didnt bother using the actual turn lane I had some serious NEGATIVE pucker factor on that one

i just hope that if i do go i can keep up cause right now there is no way my car will do that maybe in about two three months.

filled out the reservation form online...now I just gotta wait for them to call and confirm it...

Don't worry, not everyone is going mach 1. I was alright last year, but my right ear hurt a few times from my proximity sensor (wife) going off unnecessarily. 2 or 3 months, well you have 8 so you're covered.

Good to see you got it in. I just called them when I did mine, a couple minutes and done. There's already quite a few that have reservations in. I'm very happy to see people committing to this early.

It makes it way easier on the organizers and sponsors when they can see that and not as much up in the air. Same with when registration opens in May, sign up as early as possible. It's good to have everyone there, but makes it alot smoother for them and the event if they can have everyone in early and be better prepared. I'm excited about the early showing and think this is gonna be an even better event than 2006/07.

my girlfriend yells at me cause i was on the border of losing my license (tickets)so ya i understand the whole right ear thing.

Thats funny. The proximity sensor going off. I'll have to remember that one when mine is going full tilt.

People that already have rooms reserved:

What dates did you reserve? BGPM is scheduled for the 4th-6th, but does that mean that everybody shows up on thursday, or everbody shows up and stays at the hotel wednesday night too?

Just wanted to make sure before I did the full reservation process...

We will do the same then. We wont be there until late wednesday night since the fiance (will actually be my wife by the time BGPM rolls around ) will have to work till probably 4pm that day.

Stuff we have been eye balling to do for the past 2 years now we have gone to Branson for the GP Meet, but never had time to do it.

I'm booking our room tomorrow.

~F~

Just got done booking ours. I let them know we (Jess and I) will be a late check in more than likely. Just waiting for them to call me back now.
