    Ordered tires just now.

    Wore mine down to the belts on day two last year. Doh.

    Won't ever go on non-new tires again.

    I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I pick my -new to me-2005 R52 S convertible on Sat., April 25 and drive 200 miles home. Sunday, detail the car. Monday, change the oil,brake fluid and coolant--get satellite radio installed. Tuesday, new tire and wheel alignment. Wed.-leave at 6:30am for the Dragon - WOO-HOO :fingerscrossed::lol:

    Any that has a port for connecting a microphone and ear bud. It makes life a little bit easier.

    ah, you know, the usual: ordering 1000 t-shirts, grill badges, pins, pens, dash plates, goody bags, bingo prizes, making an event guide, sorting out vendor alley, making signs, creating a farewell dinner cake, packing some booze .............. etc. :)

    Aw, c'mon Barry, that sounds like a slow day for you :devil: We all appreciate how much work you do to make MOTD what it is (and for building the BAM group too!). There's no such thing as "too much thanks" for all you have done, and continue to do my friend. :Thumbsup:

    Just set my work schedule for this month. Looking like MOTD 2015 is a go.

    Planning on heading down early Thursday morning, should be down there Thursday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

    Last night was all the training I should need in that department! :(

    But I did order my tires for the Dragon today... Hankook RS3's this time, from TireRack... They will be on my doorstep Thursday! :)

    I have been reading everything I can about the Dragon. On some page somewhere, I saw a little blurb that said TireRack is donating 6% of the purchase price to the event/charity. I tried finding it again as I am buying a set of tires, but it evades me. Anyone else know about this? Is there some code you have to put in your order?
