    Looking forward to it... I think this post was copied and pasted over from last weekends Grattan track day though so you need to change the days from Thursday/Friday in regards to when the track opens, etc.

    I'm looking for a spot in the novice group, if anyone hears of a spot opening up let me know. I was waiting to see if I'd be able to go and it looks like I waited a bit too long...

    Just posted this in the event classifieds...

    "I'm lookng to sell an intermediate spot for this coming Saturday 5/21 at Grattan. I just want the $160 that I have into it, which seems reasonable since the event looks to be sold out. PM me if you're interested...thanks!
