Mike,
I've sent you the schedule in a separate mail.
I believe VSCDA will recognize your license... so I don't expect a problem
(but bring whatever you have with you...)
I believe you may need to join VSCDA to participate in any of our events...
(a small price to pay, huh?)
We definately will need to provide VSCDA with your current medical info...
on some sort of official club paperwork, and it must be within 2 years of
the race date. Ours can be seen at http://www.vscda.org/pdfs/medical.pdf
The 948 race motor's not going to be done, but I've thrown together a (new)
1275 with a shaved head, way too much cam. Consider it a "line up the dots"
motor. We'll have fun with it, but I won't want to beat the piss out of it
since it belongs in my newly restored MKIII (and I'd rather not blow it up).
So, well drive it rather conservatively. Also, Bob Kansa may also drive in
the enduro as well.
So, bottom line is, if you've got your paperwork in order, bring the gear.
Since I don't have my own hotel shit organized, I can't advise you
there...but I suspect if you were to drive toward Grattan amd found a place
to stay in say Benton Harbor MI, or anywhere north of there towards Grand
Rapids, it would allow you to sleep in a little.
WST
