I will definitely be there, and I'll be with my mom since we split the share.

I've never been present for a Dee Tee race so can someone tell me how it works? Will we be meeting anywhere to watch the race or be in the paddock?

It really depends on who is showing up. If Byk is going, look for the best dressed person (especially for a Wednesday) there, usually with some old school hat on

You will defintely be able to go into the paddock for KnS's race. If you end up not meeting anyone before her race, just go to the paddock for her race and walk right in, you will see a bunch of DT hats or shirts in there. If you happen to be the one person that the security guard stops that day, just tell them that you are an owner for KnS and you will get right in.

Hey man, there have been some days when I have worn a clean t-shirt, relatively clean shorts, and a baseball hat with only a few sweat stains...all on the same day out at Arlington. Is there really a way to be better dressed than that?

ha! Hey, it's the third race on a Wednesday - you will fit right in. I won't be dressed up, although no sweat stains for me, thank you very much!

Why is everyone focused on Wednesday?

The race is Thursday...

are you telling me you're not gonna be there with some sort of loud shirt on? I find it hard to believe your a no show.

Safe travels to all heading up to AP, i couldn't make it this time as flights were just too damn expensive.

I'll be rolling into town tomorrow ... drove about 3 hours tonight and will knock the rest off tomorrow - another 5 hours or so. Nice break for the 4th of July weekend.

Need a head count of anyone planning on attending Thursday as I'm making seating arrangements tomorrow and would love a rough idea of how many we will be...

Of course any DTer more than welcome to join in.. Please don't be shy about introducing yourself to the group...

Sent an Email just now to partners as well (FYI)...

More tomorrow!

No no, boss is actually out of town the rest of the week, I could risk it, but co-workers are a little sketchy. I have no problem pissing off the boss when she is in town, but it is a real big negative to piss your boss off right when they get back from vacation.....

You're looking a little peaked....

Do it like a pro. Go home sick at about noon today to set the table for tomorrow. If you are sick one day, no one believes it. If you're sick two days in a row, suddenly the co-workers start saying, "Wow, he's been out two days in a row, he must really sick.

The cherry on top would be to take the third day too.

The holiday throws a monkey wrench into your deal though. No one will believe the above scenario leading into a holiday weekend.

KK,

Glad you and your mom are coming out! I sent an Email to thegroup earlier this morning. I'll send another tomorrow night too probably. We typically meet adjacent to the paddock around noon or so and then revisit there after each race to gather arriving parties. Once I know how many we expect, we'll finalize plans...

Looking forward to meeting you and your mother, and seeing everybody else who plans on attending..

I know I'm not part of the KnS ownership group (would like to be in with all of you on one sometime in the future possibly), but will be at AP on Thurs and would like to meet as many of you as possible. Please let me know where all of you will be at that day. I always get over there when the gates open, so could meet up anytime during the day. Hopefully watch some or all of the races with all of you and pick some winners.

John

I will most likely be at the rail at the finish line for most of the races. Between races I will be at the paddock.
