It is long enough to get up to considerable speeds, so we're not talking about a KMart parking lot.

Some of you guys that know the Subbie crowd that joined us in Austin...give them a heads up about this thread.
I think it's better to get some seat time before doing the time trial, as you get familiar with the track before you start hauling *** around the track. The track have a combination of fast and slow turns, the front striaght usually will hit 130mph on an approximately 350whp evo. The back left sweeper will hit right around 120mph, all depending on driver loose nut behind the steering wheel. Wayne will attach the track map later, so everyone will get an idea what they are getting into.

Don't try to pass on this great opportunity to get to learn your car better. Not forgetting the amount you pay for the event, usually track fees cost approximately $150 per day, depending on club. So do the math.
If I can make it I will be there. Plus on the track I can have a lot of roll races. I was thinking about just airing my tires down to 2psi and slapping some chains on them and then driving infront of Bob's car. His new paint job will look sick after we finish for the day. I have never done any track driving, just a lot of mountain driving. One other thing, just remember as Dick Trickle aways says "Rubbing is racing" I will just pitt move your *** if you start getting away from me.

Hey, he said it was $150 I don't need to do any math. Stop trying to get me all confused. I have a hard enough time reading and writing...

Uh, no road rage at the track. Sorry I was thinking all Mad Max there for a second. I did have a question. If the other driver is going to slow (Bob's Car) on the straights and won't let me pass. Can I just go to the inside and throw rocks at his car?
