It's been way too long, but JG and I will be back at the SCCA Tire Rack Solo Nats. See you guys in Lincoln.

Already working on my Nationals mustache.

Yeah, I think this will be my first Solo Nats in a year starting with a 2. very excited. Even though we're gonna get stomped.

I didn't even think about a Nationals mustache. What are you doing--going for the full Lemmy?

I was going to try to blaze some new ground. I think asymmetrical is the wave of the future.

I like that. Or do something so half the people who see you think you're wearing a mustache, while the other half doesn't.

What is it that you will be stomped in? What car, I mean?

And why are you two having a conversation on the board when you're right down the hall from each other?

So, do you guys not work the same office.

Not that I mind. I use to have AIM conversations with my college roommate while having a verbal conversation with the same person on a different topic.

Not that I'm weird or anything.

As the crow flies, we're about 10 feet apart--but there's a hallway kinda between us.

I'm still voting for the full Lemmy.

Yeah, but David is next to the bathroom and there's always noises/crying coming from there, so it's just easier to do it this way.

Please beat my friend Adam in his RTF Mazda 3. I think the crushing defeat brought about by loosing to a Diesel would bring him literally to tears.

Totally easier. I might be near the bathroom, but it's the price paid to be in the corner--and have room for a couch. (Right now the couch is empty, which is quite rare.)

But getting back on topic, we're excited to return to Nationals.

You're usually the one responsible for the noises/crying, JG, so I think you'd be safe just walking over to David's office.

Also, are you the commie bastaad putting the tp on the holder backwards?

Have fun! It will be the first Nats in 18 years that I won't be at.

My plan for that week will be to get really dehydrated and then drunk, stand in front of a fan, in front of my oven (which is set on clean)—and have Kim throw sand in to the intake side of the fan. Then I will feel like I'm in Kansabraska. I'll miss it fiercely.

(actually, I will miss it and will probably be back next year)

You have so many wrongs to accuse me of in there, but that one is not among them. I made the sign for Jesus Gee Dee sakes.

And, yeah, Per makes an exceptional point about the harsh truths of Solo Nats. My excitement at going back will certainly be tested on that taint-numbing and oh-so-scenic stretch of drive across Missouri, and the actual reality of being on the superslab for a few days, which is somehow closer to the sun than I already live. It seems Solo Nationals—wherever it's been held—is the trip where you pack the hugest bottle of moisturizer you can buy, only to disappointingly and ironically use it all up actually moisturizing your skin.

Oh boy... that bathroom is rough. We avoid that end of the building like the plague.
