2:22 would have put you right into the hunt of ZSP. Almost all the TT ZSP cars finshed right around there.

the more the merrier!!!

Hopefully I'll have a roll bar in my car in time for South Course in April... I love that circuit and would like to make my debut (in my own car anyway) there.

Just a reminder for those on this thread, our April 9-10 HPDE at VIR South Course is filling up quickly... we are capping the student run groups to about 22-23 cars to keep it open on the short 1.6mi track.

If you haven't run South Course before, you really owe it to yourself to give it a try. There are some pros to diving on a shorter track: You get more laps!! More laps means being able to learn the line, then still have time to tweak your line if needed. VIR South course has just as much elevation change (if not more) as any track out there - it has great flow as well.

If you're asking me, I'm going to have on made for my car ('71 240z). Price of the AutoPower bars has gone up considerably, and I want something a little more substantial anyway. Didn't have time (or the funds) to get it installed, will have to wait til this summer... other priorities like a new ignition system, valve job, some more gauges... etc, etc have pushed it back. But at least now I have a car that hopefully will make it through a full weekend for the first time in about a year.

It's gonna be a blast, thats for sure.

The Guys doing stacks install do top notch work. I have no doubt it will be a work of art when done.

I am psyc'd about this weekend. For the first time in a while, my alignment will be the way I want it.

BTW Stacy,
We figured out why the front was sitting high.

Stacy,

Glad to hear the car is coming along well. I better see you out there every session this time.

Also, we have to start the weather dance thing again. It worked last time, and it looks like we might need it this weekend.

Never done South Course before. I'm pumped.

Sean

We may get a little rain on Saturday. But I think it won't be much. (Fingers Crossed).

Stacy,

Again you guys put on an outstanding event. You even made the weather cooperate again. You're getting good at that. I had a great time. Paul T. was a fantastic instructor.

Thanks again.

Stacy,

I loved it. I honestly had my doubts, mainly because it looks so boring just looking at the track layout on a piece of paper. But when you get out there and see how much is going on on that track, it is a blast. I'm very happy I decided to go do it.

Once again, you guys put on a hell of an event. Thanks alot and I'll see you at The Rock in June!

Sean
