Yes, thanks for switching dates earlier rather than later, and for not sticking us in a tiny banquet hall. Looking forward to the competition this year, like always.

Not at the Challenge, no. Last year was it's grand finale at the competition. I'll be autocrossing it and going to local car shows with it this year then moving on to the next project. Mrs. ShawneeCreek and I are just coming to the Challenge to spectate and hang out.

I remember getting the horrible little hall because of the accompanying wedding ( with ugly bridesmaids). Thanks for moving the date early.
