Not Attending Unless "Made An Offer They Can't Refuse"
Greg Wells
Jay Guard

Jay and I learned that Ralph Thorne was crying himself to sleep every night because he couldn't make the RetroPalooza, and we couldn't let that continue. If the boss will let me take Friday and Monday as vacation days, it looks like we're going to do the 12-1/2 hour drive to Joisey. It's not engraved in stone yet, but I should know by the end of the day.

We'll have to leave ATL early Thursday evening in Jay's Toyota Sienna van and drive through the night to arrive Friday morning. And we'll drive Sunday night on the way back.

We were a little concerned when a Jersey guy started talking about making us "Offers We Can't Refuse"... LOL!!!

Greg,

Once you're in Jersey, just tell anyone who bothers you that you know me. But If they have a crooked nose, don't say my name, you could be shot!!!

Greg,

That will only work if you are in a pizzeria, sub shop, McDonalds, or Short Stop...

[JerseyJohn]

You left out bakery!!!

[tonyp]

Oh yeah, any Italian bakery... And Jimmy Buffs. I remember the good old days when I could eat a double hotdog, double sausage, two large fries, and a Diet Coke. LOL...

I'm sorry but you can take my name off as my wife's mother may have to have surgery and we are waiting to see what her other doctor says next week. Not sure what will happen but I do not think I'll be there.

I will still send race prizes for you guys.

Bummer but hope everything goes well at home.

Hope all goes well Mr. Cort we'll miss you in Jail.
My mom just got a pacemaker put in this week
for Mothers Day....shes doing good.

[HarV Wallbanger III]

My wife is just to worried to travel so I do not think we will leave even if she does not have the surgery???
Good to hear your Mom is doing well. Is it a Medtronic pacemaker? Thats the company Annette works for.

Have camera, will travel. I'll be there on Thursday through Sunday. Staying at Hotel Sonny's, so I should be able to pay for the trip in payoffs from NOT posting some pictures.

...and a Diet Coke

All that? but at least you had the Diet Coke

Welcome aboard the Titanic!!!

[Sonny's Fastlane]

Welcome aboard the Titanic!!!

Yes, the Hotel Sonny's is now full. NO vacancies.

Do we have an update on the body count... er... Roll Call??

[Noose]

31 and counting..

[Cheater]

"Hotel Sonny's" seems a bit of a stretch. Sounds more like the "Camper of Iniquity"... or perhaps "BS on Wheels". LOL!!

[Larry Mattingly]

'Dixie Rebels' in Joisey... Who would have thunk it...

Who is going to translate into 'Jerseyese'...

Doctor permitting... looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Hey TP,

Dicky Dee on the "Ave" is still open in Newark...

[Noose]

OK, who else has got their ammo for the shootout?

[John Streisguth]

I got some 12 gauge... er, ah, I mean....I'm starting two new F1 chassis tonight, one a Victory build and one a Samson classic. I'm hoping for a little testing next weekend.

Welcome Gary! OK...the more the merrier!

[Cheater]

The SERRA™ contingent's plans to invade NJ have crashed and burned.

Ralph, Jay, and I were planning to drive through the night going and coming, using Jay's Toyota van so those not actively driving would have a place to stretch out and sleep. Unfortunately, neither Jay or the van will be available that weekend due to family issues and neither Ralph or I have cars that will work for such a trip.

We'll try again next year...

[John Streisguth]

Sorry to hear that, Greg. Maybe next year.

[Noose]

There goes webcam coverage. Bummer.

[Robert Rodgers]

I'll be there for the Coupe and F1 races on Saturday. Sunday is still up in the air. All depends on if Hip can save me a parking spot beside his van.
