You going to slippery rock on a sport compact day?

I'm probably going to take my bike out to one before too long.


Good call on not beating on the car with no good tune on it!

Either a sport compact day or test and tune day, whichever is first and works with the schedule. I'd prefer a test and tune day as from what I have heard you can get more runs in and also those have had better track prep's (maybe, lol).

But I am down for whichever.

Honestly my first few runs are going to be rolling the car off the line...for pure trap speeds. then I will take a shot at launching the car. I want to try and get a good trap speed before I break anything ;)

No sadly, I have like real work I need to knock out, which is why I can't take vacation too.

Any free time I have will be used to work on the car and/or relax.

I need to really catch up on some projects otherwise I won't be able to take the time off I wanted to around 4th of July either.

Indeed, no choice though really, work is really heating up.

A ton of our engineers are dedicated to a huge job we have for wood burning power plants and I am stuck being the catch all as I am still in the office.

I am hoping it gets better soon.

Don't worry man, plenty of time to hit the tracks this year. Plus racing an untuned car is retarded. Take your time and as long as you are making some progress its all good.
Although I was looking forward to seeing this in action, I can wait.

Nice, I was looking up track days and 7/13 & 7/14 seems to be the next open days. Well that I can go I think the 7/1 weekend has some too.

7/13 and 7/14 seem like a good weekend to shoot for, gives enough time to make sure its running tip top. And gives me time to get a helmet...I want to go try some on.
