[Shotimes] Re: Successful Gingerman and Lapeer Days!

[kickinsho]

Would it be worth it  if we were to book a year or two or three in advance? 
A day during the week for me is really hard to get off also. I would love to 
get to one of these events yet, but with track days on Thursdays, I will 
have to hold out for a while.

Just my two cents.
