This is totally up my alley, but, sadly, I can't make it. Will the classroom session be captured in any way, shape or form?

There will be some classroom materials made available prior to the session...also, maybe we can record the session via T/S

We will be recording this session, and in fact if it works we will begin recording all the sessions.

Here is a companion document for tonight's lecture. It's not mandatory that you have it, but wouldn't hurt. The document contains information relating to both the Basic and Advanced Racing Line courses. We will only be covering the basic section tonight.

Great stuff, Troy -- printing it out now and will use it this evening.

Thanks, Paul! I use openoffice from Sun, it's compatible and free! Anyone should be able to dl online, if you don't have MS office.

I sure hope to make this one. I have a dinner engagement, but will definitely try to make it by 7p my time.
