I'd do an oil change and maybe a brake fluid flush with but any other advice on what to bring or prepare for before the race day?
Any guys here coming from the west suburbs and leaving in the morning of the 24th??

Awesome, thank you sir! You might want to check the condition of your pads. Stockers will work fine if they're is meat on them. But a good street/track pad is the Performance Friction Metallic Z's. Inexpensive, work very well. Or, the Ferodo DS2500's as well. Let me know if you need help with this or anything else

I'm trying to convince our midwest crew to head up that way then double dip at Grattan the following day! I'm in for sure and at this point we may have another three as well.

For those of you that were there last year.... how far is the nearest E85 pump from track?

Thank you!
BTW, my car has only 5k miles and i rarely step on my brakes that hard lol. So, I think I'll be fine on my stock brakes for now.
I just realized that the event starts at 8am ET which is 7am CT... Do we really need to get there at 7am? haha

I did some searching and found a Meijer, but its about 33 miles away from the track. I'll see if I can find a closer one.

Also, I made a deal with the guys on Saturday and Sunday, AutoInterests. I have a discount code for anyone doing Evopalooza. It only costs $5 to camp at Gingerman, and is a lot of fun (beers, bonfire ect) They have bathrooms, showers ect too. Good stuff.

that's exactly why I dumped the E-85. Gratten is a little better.
