Next weekend? I checked NASA's web site, it says there is Mid-ohio championship in sept and next event will be at Putnam Park oct 7-8.

Is really $300-$400 per day?

Do you have any licnse or are you PHDE 1-2-3-4?

Can you tell me more about how it went what should be done?

Maybe it's not next weekend... I just over heard someone. Maybe they said next event.

If it's your first time, you should probably sign up for HPDE1. An instructor will sit with you the whole time and give you pointers while you drive. Maybe not as fun, but very worth it if you really want to learn a track. My first time there I signed up for HPDE2 because I'd taken all three of the Mid-Ohio high performance schools. HPDE1 & 2 go out at the same time. If you're feeling comfortable, you can ask your instructor to sign you off to go into 2 if they feel you're ready. Same to make it to 3 or 4... you have someone ride with you and they sign off on you if you're ready. You can do this all in the same weekend. So if by the end of Saturday you're feeling good and the instructor agrees, you can join 2 and go by yourself on Sunday. The two day session is $310, or $170 for one day.

Everything has gone smoothly in the two I've done. Sometimes they run a little behind schedule, but not bad. The best thing you can do for your car is have good tires, good pads, and high temp brake fluid.

I am thinking of taking the Evo next summer, but I want an oil temp and pressure gauges first.

I am looking to flush the TC/rear LSD fluid on my 03 Evo. Does anyone has some spare Diaqueen gear fluid that I can purchase and pickup around Columbus? I figured I probably don't need the whole 4 liters jug that people sell on the internet. Thanks.

Spotted a sweet Lightning Yellow on 71 SB today.

Was going the same way doing some logging (trying anyways).

Nice rig!

I've had the cable since my tune June 15th. I downloaded EvoScan and was trying it out.

I need someone like you or Chris that would know what they are doing with stuff like this.

It has great potential though.

Although the Redline stuff may work just fine, I've read enough posts here of broken TCs caused by improper fluids that I want to be on the safe side and use the factory oil. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Who pulled those times out of their STI's?

I would assume Mookie (Angelo) and Tim, possible big Mike, but I have been out of the loop.

JP, check out Lersoc's Dragway 42 thread.

Tim pulled a 11.5
Big Mike pulled a 11.75

Brian pulled a 10.5 I believe in Dave's Evo.
