So great. Looks like y’all are having a great time
Riley Dickinson has been busy at COTA. Watch this great video of his 992 “office”. Thanks Porsche Austin.
We have to give a week”s notice to The Hills with a final headcount for the evening. The reason is because (wait for it) supply chain issues with acquiring food in advance of the evening. So that means tomorrow (FRIDAY) is our deadline to get our headcount numbers turned in to The Hills.
Please note that we will have to cut off registrations for this event tomorrow at noon. Here’s the link for registrations, and we still have a few spots left, but don’t delay any further!
