If I'm around I'll join. But, unfortunately it's really difficult for me to commit to Sunday nights, so I'm only a maybe. If you get 8 other entrants I'll drop off, but probably can't confirm until about an hour before the race.

If I can, I will  :)
It is highly likely that the above post was produced with a drippy jowl.

I'm not sure we have eight regulars left...I'll put both of you down.  It's no biggie if you can't make it.

Well, that was fun.  We ran a couple on the long ribbon and a couple on the short.  The cars were a bit of a handful, and I was intrigued by the difference between the cars at the two tracks.  The two were evenly matched on the short ribbon, but the Lotus was much better on the long, from what we could gather.  I didn't think to save any replays, but it was fun.  We'll have limited participation next week, but I'll try to come up with something anyway.
