Set Up /Speed TV/ Mike Skeen sports bar is open


#1

For those of you in the Atlanta area, you’re invited over to the Set Up sports bar to watch Mike-the-Machine’s final Set Up TV show. We’ll gather at my house about 7:00 and watch the show at 8:00. I’ll provide the pizza, subs, and margaritas, you bring the beer.

I know that Taylor is in. Others? Please RSVP here or call me and tell me pizza or sub so that I can purchase the food.

Jim/Greg tell Diegel to come on out too.

Robert Patton 770-886-2500

Robert,

FYI, the program starts at 10:00PM this week rather than the normal time.

NASCAR qualifying is pushing the program back.


#3

Chi, thank you for the heads-up.

Not sure how to proceed, as it is doubtful that those that could/would drive out to the sticks where I live could/would want to return to their house at about midnight.

Mike confirmed that the schedule is 10:00.

Ah, what the heck…I don’t have to drive home. Come on out and we can watch the show. We’ll start with some DVDs of Taylor vs Patton at about 8;30.

Just advise with a phone call for directions to the house. 770-886-2500.

Regards, Robert Patton

Sounds like a plan, except that the Taylor v. Patton DVD might put folks to sleep. Here’s a thought for whoever attends: Pick out some of the good clips on your computer, burn them to a disc and bring along to the bar Thursday night.

Go Skeen! (Really, Mike, go! Sign that pro contract already!)


#5

Chuck, great idea as we all get to bask in our 15 minutes of fame and fortune with an audience of two or three people.

Tell Robinson to come out and bring his Trackmate data. When did that sum witch get so fast?

Regards, Robert


#6

Actually, the clever MadDog//Robinson managed to plant a virus in his TM file before he shared. The result being he appears to be on a 37-minute straight-line trajectory to somewhere, but it’s not around the track. Way to avoid handing over those speed secrets, Jimbo!


#7

The good news is the folks at Traqmate tell me I’ve helped them improve version 2.10.

That’s a lot like hearing, “you’re not going to make it, but your corpse will improve our understanding of the disease”.

Gee - thanks…


#8

Update Chuck check your inbox.

Glenn at Traqmate performed CPR and there is a digital record of how awesomely fast I am / was.

He then proceeded to send me video of how fast he is in a Spec Miata - SCCA Regional. The answer is - much faster.

Second time I’ve dealt with Traqmate for problems they’re always super responsive and helpful.

Holy development batman! I wish a SpecE30 could handle that well.


#10

I’m in (with guest). Pizza for two (as plain as possible). Are you going to post directions?


#11

Wendy and I are both in. No, that’s not a typo. She’ll bring a book to pass the time during race video’s but is on pins and needles waiting to see how Skeen finishes.

Pepperoni Pizza for two. Anything else we can bring?

I might be interested in coming up… I’ll need to play it by ear though


#15

I’m there man.

Skeen, you better win since I’ll be awake past my bedtime on a school night.


#16

I’m in as well!


#17

Bill and Jim, directions: since I type about three words per minute, let’s rely on the old map or GPS. The address:1275 Elk Ridge Cove,Alpharetta GA 30005. Home phone, (should you get lost) 770-844-9090.

Take 141 north to the Fulton/Forsyth county line. Once into Forsyth county, highway 141 merges into two lanes. At the merge there is a traffic light,turn left at the light into Deer Lake subdivision. At the clubhouse “T” turn right.Go .2mi turn right. Go .4mi turn right onto Elk Ridge Cove. Go down about 6 houses and we’re on the right.

Regards, Robert Patton

I can’t believe you never even picked up the phone to call your own daughter and invite her. I feel hurt! :frowning:

Seriously though, I can’t believe I don’t have Speed for this. Can someone please record this for me?

Thanks,

Laura Lou


#19

Laura, it is like the “wasted minutes” cell phone commercial, I knew you were busy, so…

We’ll record it for you. We might even watch your 15 minutes of fame and fortune.

See ya.

Okay, just to confirm…we are doing this Thursday night, right? Even though the show doesn’t start until 10:00, people are still showing up around 8:30? Are we still doing the food?

I don’t want to be the silly one who shows up when no one else is there!
