Who's coming/going to the HGP?

[S2Kouichi]

It's only a week away! Regional members and guests, please post what days you plan to go and where you plan to be. I plan to be around for parts of Friday and most of the weekend. You will see me in either my Lone Star S2KCA or S2KDays2006 shirt, unless we have weather like last weekend. (30's on saturday!)

See you at the races!

I plan to go Saturday, not sure where I will sit or if I will just get a ticket & a pit pass

[S2Kouichi]

I will look look for you coop.

[tmarshall]

I'm going. I got a super ticket so I plan to be there all three days but might not be able to take it if it's hot. I haven't been to one of these before so if you guys want to point out some things I wouldn't want to miss, that would be great. My S2K wardrobe is pretty limited but I do have a Lonestar hat I'll try to remember to wear.

Unfortunately, too much got in the way....

I'm selling my toybox trailer to an out of town buyer, and she may not be able to make it here until Sat. Also, got an invite to a party in Houston Sat. night, w/ a bunch of friends that I rarely get to see these days.

I know...I'm really looking forward to getting my car on the track, but navigating around motorcycle races and other BS these days is damn near impossible!

[Girlracer]

I'll be there both Sat & Sun!! Hope to see you guys out there.

Radios?

I was wondering if we could bring in our FRS radios and if so, what channel/s should we try?
It might be a good way to find each other.
Since it's late, I'm going to try to bring mine anyway. They are currently set on 1-15 from a drive I did a while back so maybe that's a typical channel for us?
Hope to see some of you and thanks for the schedule pointers.

[S2Kouichi]

Btw, Paul Rogers (formerly of Bad Co.) is playing Friday night, and Jerry Jeff Walker on Saturday.

[S2Kouichi]

I won't have a fied radio but I'll try to make myself highly visible. Heading out in the next hour, really getting pumped!

[billy bob]

I just drove by there. Cars blazing around already. I might go sat or Sun.

[Coop]

I think I am getting a press pass for tomorrow

[tmarshall]

I'm going to be a bit later today than I thought. Inlaws coming in and I apparently have a few things that need doing. Hope to see you folks out there later.

[S2Kouichi]

I saw tmarshall on friday and met SilverS2000 on Saturday working one of the corners. I walked well over 6 miles every day. More on the races later.
