Good find. I only look at the PDF file one. I guess I should look at the Calendar more often.

I'm going to try to make it to at least one of them.

I have options though. And Ive never run the ra-1s there off a mazda touring car. 1 50 minute session. Im thinking the invos would actually hook better. I have to get a new turbo/ engine management before my car will be able to run.

Weak.. I used to launch at >6K all the time on slicks, although I didn't dump the clutch.

For me, it's all dependent on my workload. If I can get all my work done and have enough time, I'll go (most likely on Sunday). If I don't, then I'll just have to skip yet again (intentionally this time).

Seems like the more you are doing to that car the less you can us it. So why all the additional work?

I would like to do Saturday also but it will most likely be Sunday. So I have time to get my set up right.

If everyone wants to make it a sunday event, i'm down for sure. I was thinking i'd go out saturday, but i wouldn't be there till 2 at the earliest...which isn't really a long time. If i go sunday, i'd need to leave around 4:30.

You need to find someone else to work on your car, it's been 2 1/2 weeks and that POS still doesn't run correctly. What is the problem?

well the front mount is too big for the vf43 thats on there now so it surges. So the solution to all my issues is a real turbo. My cars done I have all the parts but the sway bars. Im wanting to do nasa time trials after this season of hpdes. 3 or 4 apex some of nasas hpdes get approval and go run in some real racing. All I need is street wheels/ tires. I have my track wheels/ tires for this season, and I need some full race pads. My pads right now are a step above club race, but since I have some r compound tires some race pads would be nice.
