Very nice.

Hey Jon, since I can't pm, I wanted to know if you got my email?

I received your email -- THANK YOU!

I am so swamped these days, literally up to my eyeballs managing event planning with my practice and other projects I'm working on. Sorry for my lack of responsiveness...

Regarding finding a booth for your car, your best bet would be to keep an eye on the growing list of vendors and see if any of them are suppliers for the parts on your car. Other than that I don't have any other ideas...

As far as helping out with the event goes, I really appreciate your offer. I will have a much better idea what will be needed as we get closer to crunch time, and I'd probably ask that you check in with Todd McWilliams as he is really my right-hand man the day of the event in terms of managing volunteers...

Okay, I talk to Todd every once in awhile so I'll ask him what he thinks I can help out with. I'm always there early anyway, so I figured I could help out. Maybe I could use me newly acquired SD BMW CCA VP position to gather some more CCA support.

I may have had a slight hand in the matter . . .

We actually tried to get PTG there a couple of years ago, but in '05, we were able to have a car from TMS, TC Kline, 2 cars from Finlay and 2 cars from Automatic Racing.

In addition to the SigalSport Daytona Prototype, we hope to have a Turner car and my car should be there as well.
