look at jbot laying down the stay-on-topic-law with this thread. That's the brazen asian we know and love. But yea, I've done a few tracks, and as long as this won't throw me for a loop from what I've learned so far, I'll look into the scheduling. If I can make any it's probably this May date more than the April, so I'll keep you posted on my status. Thanks for the advice, and thanks for the PM, jbot. As an aside, are any of those people going from either Cinci or Dayton (in terms of figuring carpooling potential)?
