I'm planning on heading down to marshal for the comp this weekend; anyone want to carpool?

Message from Dean below:
This weekend is a go. This will be our last local event and we will wrap up the series later this month in the Owens Valley. Don't forget, the annual memorial fly-in is this Saturday, so there will be food, spot landing and "whack" contests in the LZ.
It looks like typical Marshall flying conditions throughout the weekend. Check-in and waypoint uploads (if needed) are at 10 a.m. in the main Marshall LZ. Cars leave for launch at 11 and the pilot briefing will take place at launch.
Last minute reminders:
1) Bring the cable and drivers for your GPS in case I don't have the correct ones for your unit.
2) Check NOTAMS and weather before you drive out just to make sure you’re not wasting a trip. http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html
3) Bring your current USHPA ID, the site monitor will ask for it.
4) Print and bring color map with waypoints located on the REGISTER page of the website.
5) Bring fresh batteries and make sure your radio is charged.
6) Leave all whining at home.
