Here is something that surprised me. At lunch I went to town and topped off my fuel.

I burned through all 14 gals. in just over an hour and barely made it to town for fuel.

I must have gotten down to 5mi a gal.

In the future I will trailer my car out there so I can bring tools, air, and fuel.

I just have to figure out how to tie down the front end...Any suggestions?

I had tow my car from GA to here and i believe we backed it up on the trailer (car is lowered) and tied it up to the front cross-member. I believe thats where... Dont quote me on that though.

Now that I pushed my car I need to upgrade the brakes with better pads and fluid.

Tire upgrade will need to happen as well. the stock tires squealed in every corner. So something a little wider and sticker will happen when I ware these out.

Only bummer of the day was I was a little late leaving this morning and an Airplane clocked me going 94 on 80 on my way out to Fernley.
Congrats. So can you now go run the track whenever they have open track days? How long is your permit good for?

So when are we doing the Evo meet?
