... I don't know. Do we want to deal with Razor mania again? Anyone know if that's an annual meet for them or a one time trip?
Traditionally it is the third weekend in May, and the week PREceding.
I really want to go again but don't think I can. They scheduled a trial for the whole month of April and may. So hopefully it goes by fast and I can make it.
Tom had us change the dates because of Mothers Day,but I don't think he plans on coming anymore...so we could go back to the original dates.
Mothers Day is Sunday 12th May....
12th-18th would be the third w/end in May and the week PREceding.
So :_thinking
Jo
Dont know...
...but all in all it wasnt too bad with them there...in fact kind of entertaining at times :pQuote:

Was one of Lisa's friends (side by side person) talking how they where possibly talking about a different week? As Jack stated I dont care on day just need to know when to show up.
I need to reserve my room as well.

12-18....I may be running the relay on the 11th :)
Tom tried to get the date changed...then the calendar accommodated him without moving ZuZoo...then he stopped coming anyway.Quote:

Most folks figure if they are going to drive that far, why not get some more time in Moab out of it.
I don't say this to say it has to be then, but that is what it has always been.
And I know some people (Gismo42 Dave is one) have already locked in their vacation for that week because their stupid job has the scheduling flexibility of Haley's comet.

You had almost talked him into letting you drive it.
Anyways I remember him stating they where possibly going to move their day (but I wouldnt hold my breath).
Well if Dave and others have already locked in their vacation days and Billy has a relay, we should stick with the 12th-18th.Quote:

I WANT TO GO!!! timing looks good for work, but I can't reserve vacation until January...we shall see :_beer:
Bren & I are still shooting for attending. Probably won't be the full week since we've got to plan for all that road time (32 hours/2025 miles).
Lets see ... that works out to about $1300 in fuel costs alone ... what a deal ... shoulda done this years ago!!!
My guess is that we will NOT be part of the stoop-id crew since we'll have the hotel room on wheels.
I usually set up my tent at a campground, but just sleep there. Evenings are spent at the stoop socializing and/or repairing as necessary.
Absolooootly. Was planning on being at least that stoop-id. Is Pack Creek within stumbling distance???Quote:

I have been tempted to set up my tent in the dirt patch next to Larry's room...
They would all be jelous because your "room" would be bigger than theres! All hail the taj ma tent! :)Quote:
