If my back heals up by the time of the event I will be there in my 1990 SHO tearing it up. Just a heads up for anyone else that may want to join.

Dave c'mon, don't be shy, that guy in the WRX we caught, I could see a cartoon cloud over his head with "WTF how is this guy still on my bumber" in it. Or that poor bastard in the Firebird blamming you, for him, running out of talent in the kink and putting those mint green armco stripes around his car, good times.

is it wierd that the kink is my favorite turn on the track? Its not exactly rocket science in a SHO though. About half way through the carousel I got WOT and don't lift for till the straight after the kink... that whole course is a blast.

Not wierd at all. It's my fovorite spot as well. Flat foot through the kink is a real blast. 12 was good before they removed the bridge. And 1 can be taken much faster than you think it can be taken. Love this track!

12 is outstanding in the wet. And yes 1 is a very high speed turn but it really took me a while to convince myself not to use the brakes. Just let it coast down for a couple sec and throw it in the corner... The bad thing is it cost me about a grand to go to a event because of gas and tolls. and that sucks a big one. I am also considering the glen as a alternative since I have never been out there.

Good luck with your back.:wave:

I am seriously considering leaving DirecTV and going into another field of work. My 117lb body really should not be moving 28' ladders around and 100lbs of concrete all day. I do enjoy the exercise and most of the things that come with the job though. I think I will become a professional SHO race car driver.

Sorry to hear that. If mine holds together through autobahn and convention I plan to do RA w/ Shelby club later this year, maybe you can make it and Angermier might come out for it too since he lives 15 min away.
