[Drago]

Whatdaya say guys? Anyone up for a little breakfast run followed by a trip down to PR?

[Harlan Chinn]

Sounds Good, I haven't been around much. Would be nice to get together with you guys for breakfast and a drive.

Where's breakfast?

[Drago]

That's easy. The start point of last years Round-Up. 12th St. Cafe in Issaquah. Great B-Fasts IMHO. Plus the manager likes us

Plus, we take semi-backroads instead of the usual freeway route.

9:00AM?

[Drago]

Sounds good to me.

In the process of selling my house so I can't go .
I think one of our customers is bringing his pre-war Bentley up for the race. Probabally one the loudest cars of that era (he had us remove the muffler and install a straight pipe).

So far it's Mark, Harlan and I. That's it? Come on guys...who else is in?

[Jamie79SC]

I'll be at 30,000' on my way to a business meeting. Oh well - maybe next time.

[Harlan Chinn]

Marc,

I'm gonna have to bail this weekend. I will be out of town also. Hope the weather clears for you guys.

Harlan

[Rich Lambert]

I'm 90% sure I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting more of you guys.

[Drago]

That's great Rich...hopefully some of the "other guys" will show...

Lookin' forward to Sat.
