You beat me to the punch (er...send button?) John. We saw a lot of
roadster folks from this list up at the Ski Park in '99. Lots of stuff
going on and AFAIK you can register for individual events like the
gymkhana and autocross.

John, this was a better, more positive, way of expressing the points I
was trying to make. Baring something that absolutely prohibits our being
able to participate, we'll be there (wherever there turns out to be),
hopefully with a car to play with or you folks can be my pall bearers.
<grin> I really do think that late June through July, preferably
somewhere that has reasonable temps, makes the most sense.
BTW, after Fred posted about the increase in seismic activity in the
Shasta area, I tried to access the ShastaCam
<http://www.mtshasta.com/shastcam/cam.html>, but it appears to be down, I
hope electronically rather than literally. For those that don't about it,
it's a fixed camera in the Ski Lodge aimed at the peak. Very interesting.
