Hey all. Here's the info on the Gymkhana. I spoke to the coordinator last
night. He said there's plenty of room. About 20 cars lined up right now.
If you're still interested in going, here's the info below. Email me at
mgraziano1@hotmail.com (not mgrazian@ltcm.com) or call me at the blow
numbers if you'd like to go and I'll add you to the list. The cost is only
15 dollars. And the lunch afterwards at Nicks Lobster is incredible. If
you're a lobster fan, or a king/snow crab fan, then this is the place for
you. It's one of my favorite restaurants. Can't beat the prices either.
If you need directions to Brooklyn, call me. THe directions once in
brooklyn are on the flyer below.
