Re: Who's in for Barber?

The girly labels are Robert's. I don't have a color printer, so I have to be more artsy, although I do really like my Boondock Saints label.

I was never against the objectification of women as trophy girls. I don't care enough about the issue to be for or against it. Consenting adults, etc. I was just supportive of the decision to remove it from the FB page, which I thought was the right decision.

Talked to Rus Hardy at Barber.  He was nice enough to give me some insight into the schedule.

He said that Porsche currently has the track for the day on Friday, but the event has been cancelled and rebooked a couple of times.

If the Porsche event is still on, we'll be parked in lot G until Prosche is done.  That in theory could be as late as 5-5:30, but probably earlier.  They are working with Lemons to figure out how to do tech.

If the Porsche event is off, we'll be let into the paddock area at 8AM.  I'll be checking back with them the week of the race to see when we need to leave the house.

Damn, I'm glad you posted your in car instead of mine.  With the truck being such a momentum car, it took an eternity to get down that back straight.  I was looking for the radio to fuck around with while going down that...maybe pick my nose, scratch my ass...

10 day forecast is showing highs around 50 and 0% chance of rain! 
Now as long as the forecast doesn't change much...

Also, this is only a week away!

0% chance of rain?  That's a shame.  Barber in the rain gives you your money's worth when it comes to pucker factor and adrenaline.

0% chance of rain at a Lemons race outside of Buttonwillow (and maybe T-Hill and Miller) is a sucker's bet. I literally can't remember the last Lemons race I attended that didn't get rained upon at some point. Maybe Joliet '12?

Work has been interfering with getting stuff done in the evenings.  Lost the driver that was going to come into town to help with the last minute thrash this week to a blown back.

We were kind of hoping that the beer won't actually kill anyone. I mean, no guarantees, I did make the stuff in my kitchen, but as far as I know nobody's died from it yet.

They can hardly predict the weather 24 hours in advance, much less 240 hours.  I usually wait until 48 hours out before I even look as not to torture myself.

Re: Who's in for Barber?

1) watch Miller's in-car of entire 2013 Porsche 250 at Barber until corners are almost recognizable

2) get paranoid about WTF am I forgetting THIS time?

3) go through the excited/nervous cycle seven times a day in giddy anticipation

4) gaze lustily at Rob's forum posts where he slowly reveals the beer selection for the weekend

Meh, that part of the Us is lots easir to predict than many places.  I think last year they predicted the (Southern States Version) of the apocalypse almost two weeks in advance.

We just got barely shy of 2' of snow in 28 hours.  Predictions from most weather authorities as 9"

Atlanta successfully call the last two "ice storms of the century" more and a week in advance.

Which has now almost predictably turned to 10% and 70%.  And of course it will probably change again since it is just Monday.

2014 Barber (in the Burningham #150 Porsche 944) 4th overall
2015 Barber (in the Burningham #150 Porsche 944) 5th overall, CMP (in the #100 Alexander Racing Accord) 30 something overall
2016 Barber (in the Burningham Too #255 Lexus SC300) 12th overall after 28 penalty laps

NO RAIN!!  Because We spent two full days rebuilding the wipers on a 56 year old car.   They work flawlessly.

Re: Who's in for Barber?

The rain sucked last year. I had the flu and my cocaptain had "other issues." The last thing we wanted to do was load the trailer in the rain. Then we drive 8 hours home, wet. Ugggggg...

Oh, and our driver came in without working brake lights and told us not to fix them because it wasn't safe. This time the tires won't be 2/32 at 52psi
