TALLADEGA '09 THREAD

[Aero426]

Friday night is the halloween costume party at the Wellborn Museum

Sat. night is an open night but since Sunday is such an early start to the track you need all the rest you can get, last time a bunch of people went down to the Sonic for a self made cruise in.

This is most likely what will happen.   Makes for some nice pictures too.

Which Sonic?

The one in Alexander City, near the Wellborn Museum

I'm sorry if I missed something in the thread Doug, but maybe I'm not the only one with this question. In the newsletter, you mention receiving a confirmation letter to pick up the packet and credentials. I don't believe I received anything, but did get an electronic confirmation, is this adequate enough to print and bring?

Thanks..
Troy

Had to cancel my room at the Comfort inn just now if anybody needs a room.. was looking forward to this for 5 years.. but my Chief decided to retire last friday and now the whole department is in shambles.. who knows the administration might do away with all of us.. just cant take the chance to go. You guys have fun!

Yes, you are all set and there will be a packet waiting for you at the meet.   I also emailed a full packet to anyone I had an email for earlier today.  I got behind and did not send any snail mail stuff.

Thanks Stuart.... I'll take you up on it if I don't find anything.. My belt caught the one on the bottom driver's seat back and one was already off when I got the car.....  Such is life...

What a trip! I'm never likely to do anything like it again. It was good to meet a few of the members here and put some faces to the names.
I must say a special thank you to; Joe, Sean, Dan, Dave, Gary, Dick, Jason, Dewey, Gary and Bill, you were the best bunch of people to be travelling with!  I apologise to those that were following me and got covered in an oil film, but that was fixed, I still haven't fixed the rear lights, Gary!
We have made it to Daytona Beach, funnily enough we are not using much oil at all now, perhaps it's because we are cruising at 60 rather than those higher speeds 
Just taking it easy for a few days before the Ocala show, and then we head back West to L.A.
Thanks again
John and Derek

I didn't know you were having electrical trouble--I can fix that stuff in my sleep!  Thanks for making the HUGE journey to join us--that was awesome!
