There is also Sat/Sun 9/17-18 NCRC event that I expect will have a good turn out. Not sure I will make that after 3 days at Laguna the weekend before, but it's something to consider.

I'm also looking at Friday, 8/12, at T-hill with Trackmasters.

There's a damned 1985 200SX Turbo I'm having trouble not buying, your 18's are next on the list when that goes away.

I'm looking at Thunderhill next month SE5spd.

I was looking at trackmasters, they're more expensive but you get 7 sessions? If I saw it correctly.

9/17-18 is buttonwillows, how fun is that track? I've good things about it but more bad things then good.

Yeah I'm thinking 9/23/11.

I saw 9/7/11 but that's a Wednesday, this semester I have school 4 days a week + work so weekends is pretty much all I'd be able to do.

You can do the 5 or 7 session thing with TM. You're already there, so I think it's a no brainer to not do the extra sessions. The biggest expense - for my car at least - is not the event entry.

There is nothing bad about Buttonwillow unless you consider the slightly longer drive to get there compared to Thunderhill.

I'm looking for a T-hill event before our endurance race (Lemons!) at T-hill (8/5-7). Otherwise, I'm already signed up for the 3-day Laguna event from 9/9-11, and likely T-hill later in the fall.

I see your 225 Miata RS3s, and I raise you some 285 Z33 RS3s (the 265s just weren't big enough!)

I'll equal your 285 RS3's.....borrowed for the National Street Tire Challenge tomorrow..on 10.5" wide NT03's. Had to space the fronts out to +15 to clear and the rears are effectively +10. May be some rubbage.



Side note....finally after 6 weeks....the shocks are back from truechoice. Not sure why they painted them yellow, but I am not overly concerned.
