Thanks Chuck and Joe. We both really wanted to come to Miller. It's 1970 miles. At about 8 mpg for Ernie's F350 diesel..... it really cuts out extra races here in the East. Ernie is building another rental SPEC car and is just too busy at MantisSport. His business is starting to interfere with our racing, imagine that! I still hope to race all you guys sometime, someplace in the future.

Nationals is still a maybe for me and I think Eban Bell is planning on going . I might coach and pit crew for Him ?

It's all good !

That is one reason I was really getting excited about Miller. Long Tow, but reasonable. Nationals would be great event to go to, but at 1955 miles a very difficult and expensive trip. Miller on the other hand was much easier for most of us on this side of the US to attend so it makes it worth the effort.

Really I think NASA should have Nationals a Miller or some place father west. Altnating between Mid-Ohio and Miller maybe. Ahh, but that is another discussion.

Good luck over there and at Nationals and glad to hear Ernie is building a another 944.

We have 5 drivers signed up so far:

211 944 Spec Bill Comat Burlington ON Porsche 944 1986 MantisSport
42 944 Spec Karl Zimmermann Austin TX Porsche 944 1983 Applied Racing Technology
80 944 Spec Eric Kuhns Sterling IL Porsche 944 1988 VFC Engineering
84 944 Spec Ray Freundt Belvidere IL Porsche 944 1986 Low Voltage
91 944 Spec Ernie Jakubowski oakville ON porsche 944 1986 Mantissport , Mobil-1, Gunk

Awesome, we are all guaranteed top five finishes.

I was surfing around today and noticed that the DART crew shipped 10 Porsches out to Sebring on an open car hauler. Joe, can't you get the AZ guys loaded up and fly up there? Tim, same deal with the SoCal group. Heck, start the run in SoCal with a pick-up in AZ.
