I forgot, 2 tires have been patched as well. I don't want to tempt the oil temp AND tire gods.

I beleive he said it's their own kit. Seems like he sourced all the parts and didn't go crazy on the markup. Rob is cool, one person I do not mind giving money to. And its such a crazy place you have to see it at least once.

Hey macao,

Sure I can definitely take you, but I'm really not that fast. I'd probably go no faster than you if I actually timed it.

I plan to be there around 730ish. Gwen said I no longer have to attend the driver's meeting so I just need to show up before my first session (8AM). If you can hold me a spot, I'd much appreciate it!

Last year summer it was 115 degrees there. I had no shade and omg, I probably dropped 5 lbs in sweat...

John

If you have reserved parking do you get a spot under the tents or whatever the shaded spot is ?

Yup, but you have to pay for the reserved spot. The remaining spots are open to first come but its hard to get. There are people who wait before the gates open to grab those spots.

I actually like getting the spot under the big tree right after the first covered parking area. And on the east side of the tree. That way you get the shade in the afternoon when its the hottest.

Alright, I'm in. Going to order oil cooler today too. If anyone needs a spot to do track prep I can do stuff Sat/Sundays at my work. Rack, compressor, tools clean. Just let me know a week ahead so I can make sure my boss doesn't have anything on the rack.

I am planning to come, trying to get some things in order first. Hope it isn't full yet...

I would like to coordinate with anyone else who's coming about bringing jacks/air compressor/drinking water/ etc.
