Gary - this is funny... I happened to be digging through some old photos earlier today and came upon an old high school dance photo. I forgot all about my love of 'Bama!

Expect the VCPs to have a 10 minute penalty value. Miss one and get penalized 10 minutes. Miss 2 = 20 min. and so on. Sensitive areas will have several VCPs in a row, like a string of pearls, to levy a more severe penalty and to visually show the degree of sensitivity.

They will obviously put more VCP's...

Nicole and I are throwing a little reception at the San Nicolas Hotel just prior to the racers meeting. Everyone is welcome to come and we have the entire pool area reserved. The main event will be CPR and BBM having an arm wrestling match. Danger D will be hosting a ROE-SHAM-BO tournament with tons of prizes from RACESOLO.
