48 Drivers signed up.

What mods do you have done to your car Jantzen? If you don't mind could I ride with you one session to see your lines/you ride with me?

Of course. My girlfriend is coming out so she'll be riding with me most of the day but i know a few others who are going to be out there so i can have her ride with them once in a while. This will only be my second time going counter-clockwise so dont be expecting greatness haha.

My list of mods is long but i'll give it a shot.

Tein Basic Coilovers, Progress sway bars, Evo-R endlinks, Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 w/ 255 tires, BHR ignition, AEM intake, Racing Brake ET800 brake pads, Racing Beat Dual Resonated mid-pipe, Exoticspeed R1-T catback, odyssey PC680 lightweight racing battery and a few more nick-nacks

I have racing seats too. Thats more of a necessity for me than a mod. Many bruises on the knees and kinked necks (i'm 6'4') made me spring for some ballin racing seats.

dieselsdad won't be there this weekend. I'm hopefully saving my time for the COMMA race at the end of the month. By the way, my name is Michael Shepherd.

Probably between 7:30 and 8:00 -- i have a long drive

Try to get a port by 19-20. I know a few guys who rented those ports and i was planning on being over there. We'll see where there's room.

Yep, went up there this morning and swapped some pads in. They'll hold me over for a while but i'll need new ones before the next track day.

I was thinking about skipping June 26th because i thought it would be CW but it's really tempting if it's CCW.

Best time of the day with unofficial stopwatch timing was a 1:36.8. I'm content with that -- for now

I really hope I can make the 26th. Right now its not looking too grand. Is there one the 27th?

I had a blast out there guys. Great meeting you also. Sorry to hear about your pad issues Chris. I need to get some new fluid and might change my brakes before I head out next time.

If I can get my breaks figured out, they are soft right now, I'm going to sign up for either Saturday or Sunday. I'll get there early and put my SALP on... (sh*t @ss loud pipe). Might need to bring some ear plugs too.

Had a blast on Saturday.

My best time of the day was a 1.40.78 CW. That was my last lap of the day due to me running out of gas lol. Low fuel light wasn't on and it started cutting out.

Hello! Would love to get up that way and give this a try sometime. I suspect it's a tad more fun then the sheriff's track, right?

^^^Much more fun. I've gone to the sheriffs training facility twice but it's nothing like Hallett.


Glad you had a good time out there Brent. Fuel starvation sucks. It's happened to me a few times out there. It's weird. Sometimes it does it some times its just fine

I think I ran a 1:36 on street tires my first and last time out. I think I can go quicker. I'm sure some of the guys here who have done it several times are quicker as well.

My timing is unofficial (stop watch and/or video play back) but I'm right around 1:36 too on street tires. I have clocked a 1:35.8 but since it was not timed with a transponder I'm not going to say I'm in the 1:35's yet

I will be running on r-comps next time. I can't wait to see how much time they shave off.
