May 1-31 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Pappy Bush proclaimed this month in honor of the first JDM person to arrive in the US back in May of 1843 who laid the seed for what six score and fourteen years later would become Jonathan Wong. Coincidentally, it's also Better Sleep Month, which Wong has no problems doing at any moment of any day. ZzzZzz. www.apaha.org

Just like the month, most of the above events are May-be's, so check the promoter's Web site before making any travel plans. One event you don't want to miss is our Time Attack Qualifier out in Arizona. Sun, fun, and your car to run. What else can you ask for?
