nice, hopefully weather gets better. Looks like thursday is the first scheduled day with no rain.

Did you happen to see any of the runs from KOTS this weekend. it looked like there was no track prep at all.

Yeah and I don't have to go this week I can play it by ear, but I really want to try Thursday.

I saw the runs on many videos. They don't prep it on purpose, to mimic the street. I have lots of pro/con opinions about the whole thing. My friend I help race went out first round, I could not go. Anthony won it (that's my old car I bought new in 1998).

unless you pay! lol but no i still wouldn't. I know it would be nice to have baseline numbers (All i have on still is the cat back) but I want to get my CAI back on and install the headers at least before I run. Tune would be ideal as well but I think I can manage a 12.9XX without the tune.

Ill gladly pay $15 to see you run. I was telling john that i enjoy seeing other people run and helping them achieve their goals too. We were looking at his logs and tune last time out, and i plan on spending more time on his car if we go thursday as i wanna make sure my car is safe for saturday.
