[Shotimes] RE: Successful Gingerman and Lapeer Days!

[Jason Kennedy]

Well, you all make good points - and Bob is right, the
price of the track would nearly double.  But
considering and extra night of hotel stay and lost
wages I could see how it makes sense to have the
events consecutive from that standpoint.

However, the points were also made that the weekends
fill up WAY in advance at Gingerman so getting one of
those dates could be difficult.  That, however is yet
to be determined.  I am with Scott though in that I
like to have a day off in between.  I would not want
to drive 3-4 hours after spending all day on the
track.  Plus having the extra day in there gives you a
chance to do any maintenance or repairs as needed.

Just keep giving me feedback and we will go with what
seems to work for most.

I was very happy that we had such a successful event
this time around and look forward to the spring! 
Maybe I can actually get my 92 done and bring her out
to play.  :D
