Just a quick seriouspost:

DO NOT drive like an rear end in a top hat it town, anywhere. I own a small business here and its a small town where word gets around and Ill be seriously pissed if anything comes back to me and I have to answer for it. I will throw you under the bus if I have to talk to the cops for any reason.

Do NOT touch my work equipment. I almost didnt host this again after the fuckery that happened with my UTV last time, I was legit pissed about that.

No burnouts in my driveway, at all. I do not own this place, it belongs to my family and the driveway is old and fragile.

If you puke in my house you have to clean it up and I want $100. Just dont do it, puke outside or in the toilet, whatever.

Dont be a goony gently caress, every NEAI has been awesome so far so dont ruin it.

Other than that its gonna be loving awesome, prepare your anuses fellas.

Quotin' dis for this page. There's a lot of leeway and we can get away with some awesome poo poo at his place, but don't take it too far or we won't be able to do this again!

Fart Pipe is an awesome dude and it's extremely nice of him to host this. It'd be cool if some people could stick around Sunday AM and help clean up too.

I was waiting for that to make a comeback.

In serious news, the MA RMV has its head up its rear end, so my truck won't be registered, and thus, no travel... Nothing like being stopped by paperwork.

I've got a family commitment on Sunday, so I'll be leaving Saturday night at some point. I was hoping to get to spend the night with you fine fellows :gooncamp: , but that's not gonna fly with the relatives. It'll be bad enough when I show up for a 60th anniversary party exhausted and late. Showing up hung over and waddling like a freshly-mounted sheep wouldn't go over well.

Probably?

It hasn't been announced.

I HIGHLY suggest you do another TSD before the winter challenge. It is really lovely to learn how to do the paperwork at the event, your navi should be confident in navigation because Buffum is a bastard and makes the first leg VERY tricky. If you still want to show up blind, I've taught a few teams how to seat of the pants it, but you get more out of it having some confidence.

Supposedly there are 3 before next feb, I don't know anything about them or if they're still happening as they aren't on motorsports.reg, but I'd poke around or email ner.org and see whats up.

I think it's gonna be rain on/off, random thunderstorms.
I'm leaving around 8AM, should be there around 10:30.

Current forecast is mid '80s, partly cloudy, 20% chance of rain. Not too shabby. Earlier this week it said 80% chance of thunderstorms, so I'll take it. I'm at least a few hours out, so I"m hoping to get there around 1 or 2.

24 Long Island themed douchebag beers, random AC junk, and stuff for making things melt with science locked and loaded. I can bring a tent / sleeping bag as well. :gooncamp:
