Karl:
Thursday, Friday, and Monday, that adds up to
three (or at least I thought it did). :^)
Going with your plans, that's 12 days for for
Pros, alone. Then you've got at least one or
two days to get to Topeka, plus the five for
the Solo II part. I get 19. That's a lot of
time away from work/home. Does JoJo know this
schedule? :^)

Your logic above is flawed. Just because you're on the road for 12 hours in
a day doesn't mean you're burning 12 hours of vacation time. count on two
days travel time for each event. Leave sometime thursday to get there
before practice starts/registration on friday. Leave after the event Sunday
to get home sometime monday. Stop at hotels as needed. so basically those
two pros use up 4 days of vacation. that still leaves you six days of vaca
for the profinale and nationals. I'm sure you don't want to do anything
other than race on your vacations ;)
>Does the location of the Pro's effect anyone else's participation?
Nope, I'm doing Ft Myers, Petersburg, Peru, Oscoda (or whereever it ends
up) as well as the Ayer (local) and Peru Tours. I might also be going to
the texas tour. All of this from the boston area :)
