    Trip report! Trip report! take your laptop with a wireless card and you can do updates while you wait in the staging area.

    Chase,
    There is too much to learn at once when racing. So the best advise I can give you, is expect mistakes, learn from them. Then it becomes second nature. You are out there for you and you alone...

    Good luck buddy! You will have a blast :)
