I am out for this weekend

Sorry but I am also out.

Given my time constrictions, the weather and my car's embarrassing skin condition (adversity to moisture) I must decline.

Have a blast.

RR

Dang. I think I'm gonna pass this time too. Sometime soon, if anyone wants to do one in the vicinity of Hwy 9, 35, 81, 1, etc, I'm there in a flash. That's more or less my backyard, and not only does it have some of the best roads in the universe, my Hawaii plates will not get any *cough cough* attention.

I'll work on registering the thing anyways, because I was supposed to be doing that.

Count me out for Saturday unless the weather takes a turn for the better. Looking fwd to hearing the stories and seeing pics.

Sunday on Skyline could be fun...meet in Saratoga?

I could barealy see Mt Diablo from the north bay today, and now it's sunny and clear
forecast says rain/t-storms in afternoon

mike: in for Sunday
going to take roadster out now for burgers

In for Sunday in Saratoga! That would be such a blast.

Ok. Let's not hijack Dave's thread. If anyone wants to connect on Sunday:

Dave,

Is tomorrow still on? My car wants to play..

Can we get an official headcount of who's going today? I'd still be in.

I'm STILL on for today. Come hell or high water as they say, and we may have both. But the roadster, and the other cars in the garage, work just fine in wet weather. So we'll have some fun. OK, I'm a little bummed that Alvin and BikerMike have bailed out, as they were the initial core of this, and I really want to see Alvin's swapped engine. But it sounds like a few others are still willing? Here is the list as I know it now...

2:00 pm at the Starbucks described previously. See you there.

I will be there if I get off in time. Looks like I will.

Here is the LAST word on this gents. I am going to fall on my sword. I am going to CANCEL.
Repeat: CANCEL. Sorry to say...I got a few PMs for people who can't come and we just don't have any mass. I also just realized RCMIke is asking to come but he's in SoCal, just a short 8 hour drive away. Gotta love his spirit!

CANCELLED. We will try again another day. For now, I will suggest anyone who can should make it to the April 1 Saratoga run tomorrow (See separate thread). Unfortunately, I can't make it on Sunday. Enjoy the sun without me!

Bummer..

Any one in the San Jose area want to meet for coffee? I prestaged last night just in case..

I have spirit, but I was not going to drive 6.5 hours, then step straight into a drive..lol

"weather permitting"
sorry dave
it is pouring now
until i get a frame-off and protection "never been driven in rain" is my mantra
