It's time to see who all is coming to the R4/3. Please post here if you're coming and, if possible, which hotel you will be staying at. The T-shirts this year will be similar to last year with the event poster on the back and our logo on the sleeve. The front will have a silhouette drawing of the King. Priced about $20.00.
If you want a shirt please indicate what size (Small to 6XL).
Also, do you intend to come to the "Bench Racing" session Saturday night at the Holiday Inn?
We are really looking forward to seeing all of you again and to another weekend of great racing!

Jacob, are you even old enough to drink? 
I should be there for the whole thing, don't need a shirt.

The insurance break is about the only good thing about getting old. <img src="http://slotblog.net/...R#>/laugh2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="laugh2.gif" />
By the way, I'll be there, too. Please reserve an XL T-shirt for me.

It just kills me to post this, but I will NOT be at the R4 this year.
The boss and his wife were given a Caribbean cruise by his mother for Christmas and they will be going on that while the R4 is happening. I have to stay to open the business and do the daily accounting...
I've spoken with Mike McMasters and will be working with him to help with the webcasting. He said he's going to find some malleable person to post the race results.
I just hate this...

Sorry, to hear of this unfortunate circumstance your boss has left you in.
He is willing to give you triple pay for those days, correct?

The R-Geo team (Rick Bennardo, Larry Mattingly, Chris Radisich, and possibly Ricky Bennardo II) will be in the house on March 10...
Racing all classes... working on getting Rick B. in a Jail Door GP so he can experience what he missed in the 1960s. He must have found girls at a much younger age than the rest of us... 
Staying at the Super 8 West. BTW If you are cheap like us, it's $44.10 per night with AAA discount. No Speed channel as I recall.
Party at the Holiday Inn... But, of course.
XXL shirt for Larry M.

I'm planning on running all 3 classes. I'll be staying at the Holiday Inn Saturday night for the bench racing and BS session. I might be able to win that, or at least, make the podium!
Oh, and one XL shirt, please.
