$25 per person for the track rental fee. I'm still waiting to reserve the track, as Bob seems to be out of town for the Holidays.
If you're in, send me an email to zrated167@yahoo.com
Thanks!

PS: As of today, the forecast in MW for the 7th is 62 degrees and cloudy.

Yeah, I made it. I only stayed for the morning. On the way there I wasn't sure if I could make it back home or even to MW. I toyed with the idea of stopping at an ER though by the time I made it just east of Fort Worth but not having insurance I just soldiered on, I believe I had a massive kidney stone onset...
On top of that I didn't go to bed until 1am and got up at 4am to drive over there, my wife was working and I was trying to get the car ready. 5-Hour energy FTW! I think I finished 3rd in the morning, it wasn't a competition though, more of a test-n-tune. The course was kind of a time trial, I did the ENTIRE thing in 3rd gear and hit the rev limiter a couple of times.
I went anyways to help setup course and someone gave me some Excedrin and I felt well enough to do the morning and left before lunch. The new rear bar was awesome but I further ruined my rear tires. It appears my rear toe must have slipped, I started the day with tread and after 5 runs they look like slicks...

New sway bar, bad tires, and a kidney stone. I still managed a decent time.
I picked some bad lines but not on purpose my tires are shot and I was countering spin almost every turn. Others were too due to the temps.

I did an side-by-side with KenO and his flappy paddle E92 BMW M3... Can a self-tuned Evo X out accelerate it...why yes it can! My rear was so eager to spin though it took some getting used to. Some new tires and getting accustomed to the new balance should do a lot next event.
