Pssshhh both cd009s are spoken for. The one in my car doesn't like 3rd. It only grinds if I get on it hard. I have the upgraded pivot ball I just put in. Gonna try to sell for cheap. Got too many trans sitting around

What time do we need to get there to make sure we can find a parking spot. I really don't care about showing my vehicle and just want to drool over the $100k plus cars.

Hell yeah....it will a cold SOB....I'm not driving the Z so I will be hanging with Ben near the Muscle cars. Look for us when you get there.

Chris P. is gonna get there later because he needs his Beauty sleep...Lol...
But he will show up later and then he is going up to ECR for the Track event.

Why aren't you gonna do it also ?

I think a lot of people will be gone since the COTA is down in Austin and a lot of peeps will be down there.

Yeah, that's way too early on my off day. That ECR thing is from 11-5, so I figure I'll get to C&C around 9, then leave around 10-10:30.

Hey Mikey,

Sorry we never saw you out there....I finally found your Z next to the Antique row....We walked all over that place yesterday.....It was freezing too !

Anyways maybe next time we'll chill out there with a small group.

----------

Chris P. how was the Track yesterday ? How much seat time did you get in ?

Is Ben's GTO the year model with the LS2 in it? If so, he can check out ls2.com. If it's the one with the LS1 in it I know that ls1tech.com is a heavily trafficked forum.

I went out to ECR yesterday. They were doing an open track day for $75 (intermediate/advanced) and also allowing anyone to do the lead/follow for free. The turnout was pretty good, with the majority doing the lead/follow. The advanced group was small (I think 5 cars, lol) so it was merged with the intermediate group totaling around 15 cars. I didn't hear that my group was merged so I missed a session, but I still got 3 sessions in, with each at 20-25 minutes.

I posted on Facebook that my I pretty much killed my brakes yesterday at ECR. The brakes overheated from being pushed too hard and all 4 corners have glazed up. It got to a point where I was having to brake at least 100 ft earlier at every corner and I had to get off the course. Those of you who have driven or been in my car know that it stops on a dime. Well, not anymore. My Brembos were already orange from previous track days but they're brown now. Here are some pics.
