John Dillon...I have room for one more at the house...Change your plans...come to NC and ride the Soap Box Derby Hill. It is going to be a great practice session!

Any one else that wants to come I can may be able to hook you up with a place to stay as well in one of my apartments that is coming open. No furniture but a bathroom with shower, AC, and in walking distance to my house and three bars! Bring sleeping bags and air mattresses! I need to make sure that is cool with the boss (read: wife...who happens to be our property manager).

Dave G: You are covered at the house if you can make it down.

Everyone that's coming that needs a place to crash, drop me an email to karr@downhillbillies.org so I can get a head count!

This is going to freakin Rock! And it will help us get this hill sorted out for a race this Fall!

Hey guys, not sure if a Friday departure will work for me but I'll try my best to work it out. If worse comes to worse, I can drive up early Sat, no problem....

Any chance of getting some of the Mid-Atlantic'ers to come down? Dave G, Parsons, WesE, Dillon, Vlad, etc???

Woohoo!!!!

Just checked with the Parks and Recs guy that controls Hobby Park and there is nothing going on at the Park on the 11th that will impede us from doing our thing. It's on!

I will send you all directions to my house. I live in Statesville so if you need to Mapquest distances that should help you. Statesville is at Exit 50 (approx. 35 miles north of Charlotte) on I-77.

Hobby Park is in Winston-Salem about 35 minutes from my house so Saturday morning we will just caravan over.

What time do you boys want to shoot for getting started? We will have to leaf blow and sweep the hill a bit before we ride it but that only takes about 30 minutes if we have two leaf blowers and a push broom.

So, to confirm, we have Ron, Marty, Ga. Tom, and Tucker....I sent an email to 66. Anyone else interested in coming in for some serious Hobby Park Slalom practice?

Marty -

No Roe as of 5/24 - maybe today. I did get email last week from Gareth asking if I had received it yet - so I suppose that means he shipped it...

As to travel to NC - I agree car pooling makes a lot of sense - I can drive if you guys want, only 76K miles on my 95 Saturn. (and 30mpg HW)

Friday night travel is fine with me - we can get a full day in on Saturday starting early.

I hope to have the Roe setup and a little dialed in before the 11th.

Marty - did you get my phone numbers last week via PM? We can talk on the phone as the date gets closer. And can I say, I am really looking forward to this... I'd like to get in about 2000 runs on Saturday.

Ron, Thompsonsan,

I would think out Friday, whenever, skate Saturday and back Sat night or Sunday. What are your schedules like?

Also, we could meet at my house in Larryville and drive up together. I'll pony up my 97 Camry with 156K on it or if someone has a better ride? Gas would be cheaper too.

Your thoughts boys?

Oh and Ron....Did you get your Roe yet?

Awesome! Ok, thats Ron, Tom, and Marty! Tucker's in...sorry but I have to let him come up..(just joking Tucker). 66 said his schedule is crazy but check and see if he can get in the act.

Ok, Ron, Tom, and Marty all three crashing at my house either on Friday or Saturday night or both? Just let me know what your plans are and we will get it hooked up!

Man, I am stoked!

Well,

If you must know I was at my oldest's fifth grade graduation. Damn ceremony took half the morning. I'll make the 11th work. Let's go racing!!!!!

Hey 6, what about you?

Marion Karr · Post by **Marion Karr** » Tue May 24, 2005 5:37 pm

Cool Ron. You can crash at the house. Tom's in...now where the heck is Marty!
