    My insider secret is: Driving to the store, picking up a "Hot Rod" magazine, sliding my insider ATM card through the machine at the check out counter. I hear other insiders send their home address and money to Hot Rod in advance to get the inside scoop Incredible!
    Escaped on a technicality.

          Wow, I guess to be a real insider you have to buy off the rack. I've got July in hand.

              No excuses now.
              That's not what I read. But, we were credited with being part of the reason all of the spots filled up.

                Scott, it was pretty bad ass to see BS mentioned as a contributing factor in the full house.

                Got about 10 texts from local dudes on that one today! I hope that translates into beer somehow.

                  Ok, so now I have to go to news stand and read it there as I'm not patient but I'm too cheap to buy it twice.

                      Although Drag Week's* "Knights Templar" and the BS spelling monitor have defamed,cyber-bullied**, and "banned" me from further posts to this thread, I thought it helpful to quote EXACTLY what HRM wrote on pg. 32 of the July 2012 issue:

                      Due to the overbooking [credited in paragraph 1 to BS and a "yellow" website], we're looking into ways to smooth out and speed up the program so we can allow more cars without having the track days turn into gridlock, and without ruining the low-key nature of Drag Week[*].tm We've started an e-mail-based waiting list that topped 40 requests as of this writing (at the end of March). By the time you read this, there will probably be more news at [some lousy time-wasting website occasionally operated by the "cubicle racers"] about the possible addition of more entries. Of course, it may be sold out again by then. If you were considering registering on site, we recommend watching closely.
                      Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sound like anything other than an invitation to join the waiting list and a shameless plug for Hot Rod's website.

                      Alonzo in his Ferrari just took the lead at the Spanish Grand Prix with a brilliant pass . . . .

                      **Had this occurred in the "real" world, there might have been some most unpleasant consequences.

                          Careful, Spidey, the spelling mavens may object to "Ragazines" ;)

                          Alonzo just made a good clean pit stop while leading the Spanish GP.
