C'mon DocJohn, you need to join us. I am flying in at midnight on the 6th into JFK, dropping everyone off at home and jumping in the NSX to drive straight up to the Glen. And I don't have that day off either! Sometimes you just need to assert your authority as King at work.........

I am confirmed for the 7th event only. What time do you guys think the meet up and depart will be from the Falls Motel to the track? I would prefer to meet there, especially if there is a caravan to the Glen.
We are planning to leave the Falls Motel at 10:30am, so we can be at the track and settled just around 11:00am. Kid's will show up around 11:30am and parade lap session will start at 12:00pm.
See you there!
Regards,
LarryB

Change in caravan plans........The Big E, will be meeting me and Alan at 6:30AM to be up at Larry B's, by 7:30 AM,and caravan from there. That'll be 4 cars, anyone else joining us, please let me know!!
If all goes well, I hope to be leaving NYC hospital around 12 noon which would get me home to the NSX and on the road around 1pm. Arrival at the camp...........say, 6pm? Does that sound about right, 6pm ??????

We have been fortunate to partner with Chin Motorsports to be able to do Kids Day so please observe their rules below:
For those drivers who have volunteered for driving the kids around the parade laps on Thursday, and those who may be interested in helping out:
(THURSDAY: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - during the lunch hour)
Thank you for volunteering to participate in the parade laps at Watkins Glen, and provide a very unique opportunity to give back to some well deserving children. You can bet that this will be an event they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.
I want to outline some guidelines for the parade laps, as they will not be like traditional parade laps. First off, and most important – SAFETY.
We will be under parade lap conditions – low speed, behind a pace car. NO PASSING. You may not exceed highway speeds while on the parade laps. Remember, you have precious cargo on board! Any kind of aggressive or reckless driving during the parade laps will not be tolerated, you’ll be removed from the parade laps, and the track event as well.
You will pick up your passengers in front of garage #30 , on the pit-out / “south paddock” side of the garages – where we hold tech inspection. From there, you will pull into pit lane, following the designated pace car (pace car will be a Chin staff or chief instructor car with hazards flashing). You may go out for 3 to 4 laps at a time with each passenger, some may want to come in before the 3 or 4 laps are up. You may peel off from the parade lap group into the pit at any-time, at which point you’ll pull in front of garage #1 to drop off your passengers, then circle back around to garage #30 to pick up your next passenger (if you would like to continue). I have put together a map to outline the passenger pick-up and drop-off locations (see below)
The pace car(s) will continue to make laps around the track for the entire lunch hour, so after picking up your next passenger, you must WAIT ON PIT LANE for the pace car to circle back around to the front straight, and then enter the track, behind the train of cars. You cannot enter the track at-will, you MUST wait for the pace car before entering the track.

Due to shortage of manpower I cannot make the trip up.
Was really looking forward to being there, if I can someone to work for me I will be there.

I am so sorry to the KIDS that I will not make it. Cancelled Falls Motel this am. Bionic stent tests this am and trachea procedure tomorrow, all at NY Presbyterian ..................."CRAP!"
Thanks, more of a nuisance and inconvenience than anything. Would have loved to have gone to the camp.
Rich, good luck tomorrow! Doc John you were absolutely missed by grownups and kids alike ��
