    Great karma Russ. I’m not in as it’s only a 45 minute drive from my place.

    This is a great event. Don’t miss the chance!

    I'm telling you Dave, you need to throw your hat in the ring. Its a super easy flight (did it last year), and I'm sure arrangements can be made to get you picked up at the airport to save you a car.

    You dont want to miss it.

    I'm likely gonna miss this year, but then next year I may try to get a gang of us Indy folks down there in a carpool situation to save some cash lol....

    I know, I know...I just got so much going on with aging parents right now, lots of challenging times.

    Unless I croak before then, lets make the plan for next year for sure.

    Either way, HELL of a cool karma!!!

    Way cool Darryl, and as a added bonus maybe I can snap a pic of Russ making snow angels, with things on his beard that looks like Dan's new Avatar and PM it to the winner so they can keep it and cherish it forever :o I hope that does not deter anyone from entering, or pulling out of the Karma. I bet Russ is in the bucket this very moment enjoying this weather.
