that is good advice. I've driven a few cars with some power. (cobra, camaro ss, 70' boss 302). but I would like to learn my car so I know what would work best for me.

I've heard of the driveway but never actually driven there. I know Rodel went to an autox there last year but didn't know it was a regular thing. I'll have to look into it and maybe I'll attend an event one of these days.

Hey, I am down for going to the track on the 30th. My car is pretty much stock for performance mods so it would be fun to see what it can do!

Well depending on the turnout we might try and do 2 meets a month, but for now we are just doing every last friday of the month. But check this thread ofter and see if we might change that to 2 meets a month.

Good advice... I have mods sitting uninstalled because I don't want to change more than 1 thing on my car between track events! My own policy is not to install a mod until I understand why I need it.

Can't wait for the next two track events (MSR and TWS)... new wheels and tires are my mod this time. The wheels are 9 pounds lighter each (I weighed them myself), and are 18" instead of 19"... and the tires are BFG KD's. I'm so addicted...
