I don't know. After reading Due's post about his girl-like driving maybe it's better he stay in Cheeseland. I don't want to NAIL him. Gee. That DOES sound kinky. Go L7!

How many people usually attend this race? Maybe a better question would be how long you think each round would be? Kid has a b-ball game starting at 1:30. gets done by 2:30 which would put me there about 4:00 or 4:30. Figure I will miss at minimum 1 round possibly 2. Not sure if it would be orth it then. Never know though.
