Attention Lone Star Chapter DE Student and Instructors
We received devastating news from the Circuit of the Americas last night. Without explanation, communication at this time is that they they are now not interested in allowing HPDE or amateur racing at the facility. We have been advised that our deposit is being refunded, our dates cancelled, and all organization events such as our have been cancelled as well. This is undoubtedly a massive loss for the Texas motorsports communuity. We are shocked and amazed at this turn of events and regret that we must deliver this disappointing news immediately prior to the Holidays.
The facebook page for the Circuit may be a source of additional information (or frustration).

ColecatZ, if you need anything done on your Z like fluids, brakes, suspension, or clutches.....Jake is the man to go to. No doubt about it...you will be in great hands.
-------
Huge thank you to Jake for helping me bleed my brake lines today !
I always enjoy doing work on the Z with him....you will learn a bunch if you pay attention.
I now have a new fresh bleeded brake line of Motul RBF 600 in my Z ready for a new year of Tracking & AutoX.
Thanks again to Jake !

I want to go over and replace hoses, plugs, and bushings.... it's 10 years old and while it hasn't given me much grief, I'd feel better knowing it was done.

I got both emails, one from Mark and one from Steve. Sounds like some major confusion going on. Dont think I'll do those this year but it would be cool.

I cleaned it while it was still attached to the tube....just took off pieces until it was just the small tube it was mounted on.
Try to spray all sides of it...but be careful...it is very sensitive....I sprayed mine twice from about 8-12 inches. Not sure if helped, but maybe it was a combination of both things.

My company is working, but my department is shut down today. I had the option and was going to go in for overtime, but decided I better be smart and spend time with the family.
You stuck there all day Travis?
