    I will be out of town that weekend. I have not heard anything about the club being represented that weekend. You might ask Tommy Cosgrove.

    Thanks, Tommy!


    Y'all should check out the Barber web page. They have really ramped up the activities for this year! Wow! Lots of new access to the cars/drivers, new kids zone play area, larger food court, etc. The party starts Thursday at TW Porsche and goes through Sunday. Lots of autograph sessions and Red Bull driving demonstrations.

    I've got my car corral pass (well, actually I'm supposed to pick it up Thursday).

    Hope to see you all there.

    I'm thinking about driving up (~ 5 hour drive) but I'm low on time (and money :D). I'd probably leave early Sat to arrive around noon and then leave Sunday after the 250. I might camp on-site; any feedback on this? I just sent Barber an email requesting camping info. I'm not much of a camper but I'll be bringing my 10 yr old and it will be a "neat" experience...I hope.

    Ideal camping location and only a cheap fee for overnight tents. My 7 year old would dig it right now, but my 3 year old is not quite ready!

    Wow! Just finished doing my own Porsche 250 today...250 CMs of Porsche timing belt, that is!

    Now if I can get the wife and kids interested, we can go back to Barber's for this evening. Whew! What a workout in the garage.
