Current forecast is only in the low 40's and windy, but sunny. Will be good for power, but poor for traction. Wunderground Forecast

Sounds good. I'm coming from 16 mile and Gratiot area.

Got the wagon finished today, just need to do the alignment and bleed the brakes at work tomorrow. I didn't see anything on their website about a helmet, but I'll bring mine anyways. Looks like $25 for all afternoon. I'll see you all there at 1!

Sweet. I have at least one other friend confirmed who has a 2011 5.0 and claims he just wants to hangout and not run, but we'll see. I think I can convince him otherwise.

Ok, mustang brakes on 95 knuckles, tockicos on eibachs with adjustable mounts. Put the t-bird rims back on, and will be bringing stickier tires to run up front. Still can't get the brake pedal to feel very good, and I'm wondering if the hoses are bad that came with the calipers. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to stop, it's not like I'll be going 200 mph

shucks, the way I wanted to come up has a section that is closed so I will be taking 16 mile to 75 to m24 up. So I will probably be a bit behind but will try to leave work earlier. Don't mind that fact my car looks like absolute crap at the moment.

Eh, so does my Mustang. I was able to wash it since last weekends track day, but not dry it before a T-storm came in so it's all dirty water spots.
It looks like it's going to be windy and barely touch 40F, so bring warm clothes!

Bummer. At least it helped me finish the wagon in time. Now I have some time to get the brakes figured out a little better! At least I had a nice little road trip away from the craziness at home.....

Yea, it sucked making an hour and a half journey to find it was closed, but I had a good drive with my buddy in his 5.0. it was only in the 30's there with a few flakes coming down, so it's understandable why they closed, they just didn't post anything on their site or a sign at the track explaining why. It did gave me an excuse to do some spring cleaning of the garage when I got home though, so that was good. Let me know if you guys wanna try another date when it's nicer.

Between working in WV from mid Feb through mid March, then starting a new job in PA in early April, the only car stuff I'll be doing this year is the SHO Convention. ****, this is the first time I've been on the Forum since late March!!
At this point, no sense in a Lapeer Day until temps get cooler in September, but go ahead and set up something then, Josh, dunno if I'll be around.

Well I might not be around now too. There's talks at work that I might go on launch support at the Kansas City, MO Asy Plant for 9-18 months starting in "August-ish". We'll see. Some guys at Ford are planning a trip to a Milan T&T in June or July that I might run too.

The Assy" plant in KC?? Liberty will like that!! :laugh_ti:
Nonetheless, should be fun and a great experience. They don't send slugs out for jobs like that.

T&T in June/July?? Oh boy!! Slow times in the heat & humidity!!

Eh, with the weather we've been having recently, you don't know if it's going to be 50 or 90!
I'm headed to PA this weekend for the next round of the Rally America Series, STPR, and they're calling for highs of 97 with high humidity! In northwest PA!
