I'm signed up and will be paid as of this weekend! 8)

We only need like 15 more paid entrants. I see there will be another STi along with mine. He's from Texas. Anyone here?

[MidlifeCrisis]

Damn, I'd come. I'd love to drive a new track. It'd only be a 10-hour drive - BUT, it's the same weekend as the start of USA Volleyball Nationals in Denver in which I'll be playing.
