Definately making the next one. Sounds like it will be lot of fun...

[HEMEEE]

I have added a .pdf file for download in Post #1 for those that need it...
Thanks to Rambit for the conversion!

Sorry for the difficulty, this was a form I threw together for last Fall's meet and I never went back in to lock form fields and perfect it - no time to do so now. Just fill them out by hand - the only purpose is to ID your car and share any mods you've done so others can inquire! I promise we won't be grading you

LAST CALL ON THE LUNCH LIST...

We now have 304 cars registered -
304 meals will be served... however...
I have ONLY 65 responses to the headcount for guest lunches...
If there is only one of you in the car, you're good to go

Don't make your guests go hungry!
IF you are bringing guests and did NOT YET get your name on the catering list with me, DO IT NOW - I will extend the deadline to 5PM
Otherwise you will need to bring lunches for your guests - the quantity of food prepared is based on the info you give me and once parked at the event you will not be able to leave and re-enter.

HURRY!!!
