I spent a lot of time soul searching over the weekend and came to the conclusion that it did not make a lot of sense for me to spend the money it would have taken to make the event. My wife was not in favor either. She stresses when I travel anyway and suffers from migraines and has been having a lot of trouble with them lately. Add to that a two year old running around demanding constant attention. Needless to say, timing just was not right, especially with fairly short notice.
I fully expected to get a lot of crap from you guys for turning down a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thanks to everyone for not rubbing it in. Thanks also to Scott for first offering me the opportunity and for his graciousness when I had to back out.
I wish I were a west coast guy right now. Best of luck to Carl. Scott made a great choice. At least you have the right car. A red Camaro and it's not a 69!
