You already know I'll be there (if possible).

Lonely Doridori

Here is I:

I wasn't there. How was the turnout?

I'm pretty light for cash at the moment... getting married next month and then going on a cruise and to Disney.

Oh, and I also bought her a ring at the end of January. So basically, if not for the gf I would have a turbo KA24DET, suspension, helmet and entry fees.

I'll see what I can do about the May event, but Wednesday is tight for time considering I'm 5 hours away and still have to work Thursday morning. Since I'll be taking off for like 2 weeks at the end of the month, it's going to be hard to explain that I need a day off to slide around a parking lot. No plans for a weekend event, are there?

There is a bunch of planning for weekend events as well as events at other tracks. DGTrials is looking to spread the love all over the East Coast.

Congrads on the Engagement and the upcoming wedding! Married life is fun. Don't worry about the ka-t you don't need it. Just **** tires and a helmet. Entry fees is my order at McDonalds.

Funny you say that I took the day off for last wed. It was my birthday and the drift event.

I will keep posting what I find on www.dgtrials.com and other forums and from conversations with the guys.

Good luck with the wedding. Keep your cool and just go with the flow. Once the ball gets moving there is nothing you can do to make it stop or go faster.
