          What's with the trailers? I thought they drove the cars and pulled a trailer if needed.

            They are allowed to trailer to the starting track....then at a specified time, the trailers are sequestered until the event is over.

                That makes a lot of sense since the starting point would be much farther away for some and closer for others.

                        Hopefully the "force" will be with them. Just go kick some ass and don't even bother taking names

                            Alan - Matt and I will take over as Bob's wingmen, another guy from Michigan is going to caravan with us southward, Carl - a newbie here, has a wicked 55 Belair - I'm sure he and Bob will get along famously.

                              Really gonna miss seeing you Allen, I hope the change in plans isn't due to something serious.
                              It will be good to see you again John, and Matt.......we'll be there Saturday afternoon and most of Sunday. We had planned on staying until everybody headed out on Monday, but work interferes with plan so we'll head home Sunday afternoon.

                                We don't know when we'll be there yet on Saturday - but it will be Saturday for sure. Will you be at the track on Sunday?
