Have a wedding to go to that weekend in Mass. I swear the girl picked this weekend on purpose because I said I had a car event that week. It's the wifes friend so I'm seeing if she'll go by herself but she gets mad whenever I suggest that I go to Marauderville and she goes to the wedding by herself.

I'm a definite maybe now. Found out the girl changed her wedding to the week after 9/11 after all her friends and family told her it wasn't a good idea to get married that day. Glad we found out before buying our plane tickets to go to Mas. Already screwed a couple other people because she forgot to send out save the date cards with the new date.

Need to see what finances will be like and maybe I'll drag Landy up with me. I should know for sure in a couple of weeks after I the wife and I go over the budget.

Unfortunately this has become a definite no go for me. I wouldn't be able to make it up until Saturday and just don't have the funds at the moment to spend on what woudl be a 1 day event for me. Vehicle reliability takes precedence over events since this is my DD and she needs some more lovin at the moment.

I'll just have to wait for the next SSHS until I can't meet up with some of you guys. By then I'll have the suspension and brakes fixed along with some of my other misc issues I keep finding on this car.

Even if you can't make it until Saturday, do sign up and join the fun. Admission to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, lunch at the HOF on Saturday and the Sunday breakfast are all included in your registration fee. This is a great value and we purposely made it affordable, thanks to our supporting vendors, the raffle and MM.Net's significant contribution on behalf of all our contributors. Without this support, the registration would have over $75 per person.

We're up to 60 people and 32 cars!! Let's keep it rolling!!! We need to be confirming headcounts very soon, so please sign up as soon as you're able to commit.

Only 32? So it's going to be like Kentucky, except less....Kentucky-ish, muhahahaaa. (Love you Mikey!)
