I am registered. My wife is going to be my navigator. I think we're going to make a weekend out of it.

Excellent!
As of now, my wife and also my brother/navigator's wife are both planning on being there this year.

If anyone else is bringing extra people, I need a navigator/timer again this year. (Strangely, none of my friends are keen to take an 11-hour road trip to spend less than 24 hours in New York).

I thought I posted here, but clearly not! I am in, so long as my PTO isn't canceled. In need of a navigator and maybe a floor for my sleeping bag lol

I'm still ready to roll. I might throw some new tires on before then. No Marauder wheels this year, lol. Those things weigh 52 lbs a piece. My summer wheels weigh 40 lbs. That's what I have on now because I smoked off my front winter tires last year with a bad alignment, and lost the right rear to a sidewall puncture. So I've been running summer tires all winter. Not so fun.

Update: Both our wives have decided to stay home.
Somewhat related - since our two wives aren't candidates to serve as navigators:
If you need - or might need - a navigator:
You should contact Bob Gillespie of the GGP. Bob has provided navigators for solo drivers in the past. The school teams bring more people than they need for driving and managing their cars, so he has a good pool of people to choose from.

Thought about going some more, but it just won't fit in with what I have going on in classes and all.
Post a few pics here from the event!

I'm going to have video from at least a lap or two.
And the AutoX, if they let me run again...
I've also been working on this driver mod recently. Down almost 20 lbs!
