Angry Atco - December Schedule

Boner,

Atco won't be open weekdays in December other than for rentals. They'll be running scheduled events on Saturdays and Sundays & will finally close for the season on December 16.

You can probably cut the chain around the fence and use the strip, but you'll have to do it without any of the electronic timing equipment.

Believe me, guys, I was looking forward to this for a long time. Heck, I wonder if the stress of putting this together and worrying about the weather brought about my case of Bells Palsy.

I hope we have a good M5board showing next week.

AND - I WILL ORGANIZE ANOTHER RENTAL FOR NEXT MARCH OR APRIL!
Dammit, Enz. Do you have to shoot down every suggestion I have?

And ask me how happy I am sitting at my desk right now.

But I bet it will be snowing within an hour down there.

Idea - if any saddened race fan is going to be in mid-town and wants to grab some lunch, maybe we can meet up today.

appreciate the offer but this saddened racer is sitting at his desk in brooklyn at the moment. More depressing than not racing is the fact that bonehead wont be admiring my tinted tail lights each time we line up on the strip.

Silly boy. You're not supposed to race in reverse

Sitting at home on this SNOW-FREE MORNING, not knowing what to do with myself in the middle of the week. Maybe will try to get to ICS to get that post-header/scoop dyno.
Of course, the forecast says nothing but sun tomorrow

Just hung up with Atco. According to the girl who answered Kevin's line, it is snowing "quite a bit" at 12:01. I feel better.

The dealio

OK, Guys. I am assuming that unless I hear from people (like Boner) that they cannot make it next Friday - everyone is still in.

If you can't do next Friday, let me know. I will rip up or return your deposit and then make the space available to someone who would have been at the rental on 12/5 but for it being "sold out".

Gracias.
