That's what it's all about! FUN!! NO one should be going out to prove anything to anyone IMO, that's when thing happen. If ANYONE is an idiot/unsafe they will be removed from the track and all these events.
Thewird - Sorry man we are and I believe someone took thunder's spot. Right now we are sitting at 23 and if Al brings his race car, we are at the MAX of 24 and we don't want more than 24.
Pros man haven't heard from you
U can't even come now man, we will have to many cars, u never sent payment.

After reading this page of this post all I can say is .............WOW! Some of you havent figured out one basic thing, the driver is more important than the car. I learned that in 1981 at a track called Westwood in BC. I had a 430 cu.in or for you youngin's 7.1 litre V8 Trans-Am and got my *** handed to me by a 60hp Volkswagen Rabbit that was stock. It took me 2 years to catch that VW. If you put an advanced driver in the Crown Vic and a 1st timer in the RX8 the Vic will lap you. If its the other way around the Vic doesnt stand a chance. When you take street cars at Mosport that are modified way more than our race car and have
100+ horespower on us, they are still 2 seconds a lap slower, yet I could put a pro driver in my own car and find out I'm 2-3 seconds slower in the same car. Point of this is................stop the bench racing and learn to driver your own car to its limits. Most of you are doing quite well, but your still 3-4 seconds off what your cars are capable of in their current form. Each of you will have a different learning curve, some will get there faster than others. Just go out and enjoy the ticket free.... drive as fast as your comfortable.... ride!

Finally got my R1's on the Shinka rims.
Thanks to Colin for doing a superb job, and Al for giving me advice with regards to the alignment.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), I didn't catch the attention of cops, and couldn't verify what limited street conditions the R1's were allowed on...
Unbelievable amount of grip on these tires.... had to restrain myself from yielding to temptation and going crazy...
Time to switch to my temp crap tires until the 17th now...

well the track holds 24 at a time how many people do we have? also realize that its doubtful all of us will be on the track at the time. people will break up in little groups and do the 20min on 20min off. just saying lol
this is where i get everyone pissed at me for not following the rules and what not
