Also, I'm going to be in the midst of traveling back to Ohio for some hard earned and overdue leave, so I'm going to have a bunch of crap in my car, is there anywhere to store this stuff while running?

Newbie questions indeed..

Everyone should read these:

Tom, I think I remember you saying you had an abandon lot next door....What about setting up a nice auto X course for us to use?






Hey, are there any roads like this around the meet area that we could use for the Saturday cruise?
