And the fine doubles if you cause someone to join you in the beach. All the money goes to the mechanics fund... Speaking of which... Is Sid going? If not we need a designated hitter for the mechanics fund. Al... You up for it? It could be entertaining to make a big deal out of the beach infractions and announce all the offenders at the Sunday drivers meeting.

God bless and God help the mechanics this weekend. Everyone will have to be on their toes to pull this one off. Drivers, instructors and mechanics will be stretched to make things run like a military invasion.

Should be an awesome weekend... Good luck all!
Fortunately Carson and the RA recovery crews are the best and amazingly fast at cleaning up crashed cars, gonna need them.

LOL gravel trap fines, don't know if that will fly but good idea

Speaking of gravel traps, Paul GT Subject (aka Big Paulie ) will be there so he can be the muscle for the Mechanic's Fund, always does a great job
I worked with Steve Welk and his print shop partner to create a new T-shirt for the fund. With so many drivers there we'll hopefully sell a lot of them - get out your wallet$ fella$! The mechanics will surely be worked hard, help them out.
