i'll be there , who else is going???????

[Tim]

I'll probably make it for an hour one of those days.

[NismoZ]

Well, it just isn't the same if you can't roam the pits with a camera, but if it's a nice sunny warm :laugh: May day in Milwaukee, I've perfected the "Aluminum Nap"...I'll look for the nicest of the 2 days and run up, search for the Fogey with the "Z" cap on! :gomer:

[trauma1]

so who's bringing beer :rofl:

[RHR_Fan]

I'm hoping to have my parents take me to the autograph session Tuesday night. I'd LOVE to miss school and see cars if I could, but I'm trying for drivers! I keep telling them that with picking me up from school at 4:00'ish that gives us plenty of time to drive over to the track. :)
