Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I think I'm going to go do a test run of the route to make sure it's safe, no new construction or anything like that. I'm a lil concerned about the pavement being too cold for this.

Well as long as there hasnt been to much oil/gas truck traffic I guess I can chance it. ill just have to be in the back so I can go slow if needed. lol Wait a minute. Why cant we just go to MSR? Might be more fun without the chance of someone wrecking to bad.

That's an idea for future events next year, but requires advanced planning in order to make it happen. Not exactly something we can do on short notice.

my Porsche. sold it to my dad early this year to pay bills, got it all fixed up and running fantastic. It was in storage since 2006. Found out the cams were all out of phase and the O2 sensor was disconnected so it was running full rich which fouled the plugs and caused it to misfire badly.
