I usually go on the lunch break so I know I will make it through the day. I go through about a 1/4 of a tank in a 20-25 minute session.

I am checking my schedule and if I do not have any gigs I am going to try and make this event.

Thanks T! I always wondered how much gas it takes for a track day. This will be my first time! I'm a track virgin! Hope to see you there!

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

I hear BBK shortys work great! Make sure you get cats so you don't hurt the environment.

If you have never been on a track you may want to get an instructor for the first session or two. Helped me out a lot the first time I went. Mine gave me great advice as far as when to brake, what lines were the best, what to look out for, etc.

Speaking of Gretchen Growl, I have actually driven that car and was not impressed. Tracy was still tweaking it but still was not impressed.

What do you expect. I don't care how many damn turbos are on that thing, it's still a 6 cylinder.

Got a mount from amazon for my phone so I could do the video overlay on it...pretty cool little app.

I have to say, on the serious side, I actually like cats on these cars. I have them and hate when I get stuck behind a car that does not have them. It gives me a headache.

But I do want to get some LED's on EVERYTHING, especially my rims, because I hear they add like 20HP.

SOOOOOOOO addictive. It is worse than heroin!!!!! Notice my sig.

If you have Android you can get Trackmaster in the app store, similar to Harry's.
