I will be leaving on Thursday morning, hopefully arriving Friday afternoon.  I will probably be arriving with about 50 cups of coffee in my system since I will be making the drive by myself...just a warning to anyone that greets me as I drive in

Hi, I didn't notice this forum until yesterday, but I just wanted to echo some of the sentiments that appeared earlier in the thread. I had a great time Sunday, lots of runs, and a really well run event. I'm looking forward to some more events with NER...

The short bus?...  Eric and Dan have both been seen wearing white helmets....

I get my work assignments done before the event to take care of that responsibility.  I worked tech and course at a rallyx earlier in the year and spoke with Chris R to get the ok to do this.
I work extra for Solo, things like the Novice school, to get...
