Default PINKS Roll Call

Too many pages to read thru.
Here is the official sign up list for Pinks. Since there
are several people, racing, crew members and spectators, that will be hanging with us, I need a head count. I know that we are going to have at least 1 camper, it sleeps 5. I need to know if anyone else is bringing one too. This way we can try to coordinate our arrival time on Thurs.
morning. From what I understand, the parking will be done according to where you are in line at the gates.

Here is who I already know of......
yellowbird1232...Mark...Racing
momacoz...Denise...Support Team
Doc.....Harrison...Racing
Eurospec2....Rick...Racing
Firechkn....Cole
nhraracer.....Kyle...Racing
Villain281H....Derek...Racing +8-10
Rodney & Steve +GF....Support Team
DirtyBird222....Support Team
FireBirdPhil....Support Team
BlueCajun5.3.....Lance...Racing
Archetypez28.....Support Team
staringback05.....Jacob...Support Team
JBIRD02 +1.....Support Team
Proud American.......Support Team
1fastls1ss +1....Support Team

A friend sent this to me. I posted a thread, on
another noard, about supporting yellowbird1232
and this is what he said.

Mommacoz - From what I have heard and read about you and Mark, if you can get into a bracket that pinks chooses for TV, you guys will be bringing a howitzer to a knife fight. It looks like you guys are super prepared, have your car dialed in to the nth degree, and dont have to cut corners with junk parts just to build a car.
You have my best wishes and we will be "Pullin" for ya!

I'll be there will be with a large group of racers. We are meeting up Friday morning and then heading to the track so we'll all be pitted together (about 8-12 cars and likely 8-10 trailers). I agree totally about the having a well prepped car, so having a bunch of bracket racers we're hoping one might get picked!

See you there!

Derek

What time on Sat? Depending on how busy I am, I might
need someone to pick up a few more supplies. I'm trying
to plan a few easy meals for this trip. You can only eat
so many burgers/dogs.
Chicken-Macaroni Salad
Baked Ziti
Cold Cuts or Subs


**Doc/Rick I need some input on this one.

I've got an awesome recipe for chicken or steak fajitas if you're interested. The longest part about the whole process is cutting the peppers and dicing the onion.

On a more manly note lol, I'll be at PINKS on Saturday as a spectator... something tells me my V6 Bird wouldn't do too hot.

I talked to my friend who is the GM of the racetrack the REGULAR ADMISSION tickets WILL allow you to be in the pits, I am just going to buy regular tickets since I don't think you can get crew tickets anymore because I think the person racing had to buy them when they bought there race ticket.
