[BMWCSRegistry] 2008 O'Fest/Watkins Glen

[Art Wegweiser]

Mike,
Now then, Watkins Glen sounds doable. When Ilse and I were a bit 
younger we attended a couple of  excellent Driver Schools there.  It 
is a nice day's drive for me. I'll be updating my Valentine to run 
the gauntlet of the boring NY Thruway or perhaps choose the back way 
which is a lot more fun.
Although I do hear the locals in NY are authorized to use RADAR and 
such - adequate training and device testing or not.
"You in a heap o trouble, boy. 26 in a 25 zone is a hazard to us local folks."

Third week of September for O'fest? No problem for me but that's odd. 
Does cut out a lot of people who have to be back on the job at the 
Acme Nuts, Bolts, Widgets & Frozen Pizza factory or whose kids are 
back in school.

Not to fear for competition, Having survived to later in life, I have 
discarded the intense detailing frenzy and now just keep Ilse 
mechanically maintained, clean and waxed.The only Q tips I use are 
after a shower in my ears. She will be in Display Only Class so I can 
join the partying while others spend the night searching to find dust 
in their fuel door hinge which the judges will find anyway and leave 
their obnoxious Q tips sticking in the Coupe's guts.
Besides, I've run out of room for trophies and even have a couple for 
sale  like the multiple copies of the mounted and framed large print 
of BMW's we were awarded in Orlando. ($100 + shipping - photos on the 
BMWCCA classified page). I'll keep the Parker Spooner Award copy we 
won and of which I am especially proud.

Art - Happy Chanukah to All - too early for other important holidays.
