I've made reservations at JD Karting and tweaked the times in the first post. Our earliest available track time is 5:45 PM, so it'll be a little bit of a long day. That gives us a little more time at Buddy's in the afternoon though - it was a bit rushed last year.

Please see the first post for schedule updates.

Weather forecast looks clear and (relatively) mild. I'm considering taking the snows off IBW for the trip. Don't like running at high speed on dry roads on snows--they wear fast!

If you think I'll make it snow by removing them I'll take that into consideration.

When I checked the weather yesterday, it was a 90% chance of snow. When I checked today, it's a 20% chance of snow. :confused:

I'm fine with some snow, so go ahead and pull the snow tires off and let's see what happens. :D

Seems to me that it usually snows somewhere, no matter what the forecast says. I'll think about it.

I like Sidetracks. Arbor Brewing Company Corner Brewery? Holy crap, yes please. Their food is on point, and their beer is amazing. In case you all didn't know, Matt and I are IN! Filling out my survey promptly.

Long shot, but does anyone have a set of 5x112 wheels with tires that they would sell for cheap that happen to be coming to winter fest? I don't care what they look like or how much tread the tires have. Sorry to stray off topic...

I need an ALH injection pump. Any out there? Running is all I'm looking for.

Wagon fueled, oil checked, new glow plugs, stereo head unit with bluetooth, washed, even vacuumed it (some). I chickened out and left the snows on.

Picking up Peter V. in Westborough MA, then to Syracuse to get Jettah. Think we'll go through Canada, avoid Friday traffic in Cleveland.

See you tomorrow!

Sounds like you'll be about an hour ahead of us. Just got our bags packed ... hitting the road around 6am.

Wish you were here, too. We got here about an hour ago ... getting the truck washed now.
