Touringbubble hooked me up bigtime with a stock flywheel/clutch so hopefully I'll drop the trans and have this thing back together before I have to go back to work next year :-)

I've only done a 30 mintue session at TGPR one time, mainly autox. Done several of those. It was fun on the track, especially chasing down other cars, got passed once :/ lol .. boiled some brake fluid and pedal went to the floor so that ended that session lol terrible hps pads so that figures. Autox is really fun for me though just because it's full of all you can do driving. No long straights or sweeper turns. Get to give it all can do constantly lol. I just got the whiteline RSB, so that should help with some push installing it as soon as the ASTs come in Then I get to put a whooping on C and Sara at autox days... haha. Do hope to do that turbo upgrade though. Need that fast spool and torque with autox for sure.

You've got plenty of car to do good on the track. Road atlanta does more track days for us than barber or tgpr i'm pretty sure. May want to check into that.

If you are in any of the clubs, assume you're not yet since you haven't been, but i've never seen anyone be able to race on any track without being part of a club. SCCA of course is a big one here and NASA does events as well. I'm in SCCA, not sure what all NASA does. SCCA sponsored the TGPR event last year so the workers got fun laps. You can enter in PDX and run your car with SCCA at TGPR. There aren't a lot of track events i've seen really. Autocross is a lot more frequent and teaches you a lot about car control/what your car can and can't do. May want to look in NASA for track events at Atlanta.
