Thanks, guys!
I know I did ok when I step back and get the "That's just simply how my car is supposed to look." feeling. It was actually a relief.

We had a great time at Olcott, yesterday! Congrats to Jason on the hardware!
It been a great year, and we've been very lucky to have found such a great bunch of fun people.
And now we know the significance of Lisa's .

Keith and I met him and had our pics with him. I think Keith has them on his camera.

We are planning on meeting at the Bob Evans Restaurant at the Batavia exit around 5:15 for those planning on coming out Friday night. We should get to the track around 6-6:15. Let me know who plans on coming so we aren't waiting around.

Count me in please. Have never been there. Anything I should know. My wife and son are also squeezing into the Camaro. I want my son to take the car down the track once. Do we need a helmet? Thanks.

Yes you will need a helmet! I'm going to try to come out for this but I'm in Watertown this week so it depends on if I can get out of here on time Friday!

Thanks Mike, I hope you can make it. Let me know. I will try and dig up a helmet. I use to have one from my old drag days at Niagara drag strip. Showing my age again.

I would check out their website or ask Jason about current acceptable helmets. An older helmet may not be up to current specs. A Snell 2005 or 2010 may be required!

Where would I get one of those? Any idea on price?

Internet or K-S Automotive may have one. I had to order mine from K-S. Also you might want to PM midlifecriSS (Jeff). He found one locally I think at Bert's bikes.

Thanks Keith. If you have an extra one, that would be great if you could bring it with you. In the main time, I will see if there is one to purchase in the area. I will more than likely use it more than just on Friday. I will let you know if I find one. Thanks.
