I would love to ride with you for a few sessions. It will be a step closer to my goal of becoming an instructor sometime in 2006.

Will we be able to ride with windows up or must they stay down. I'd love to be able to have good audio on my movies and the wind causes such harsh noise that it renders the audio almost useless.

Silver,
any chance you can bring your 4 pole tent that we had at Petit LeMans, that woudl be nice to have.
STF, are there any power hookups at the track, just for plugging in a battery charger or something like that. Otherwise, I am gonna need one of those really long life camera batteries.

i am hoping that it does not rain. That would not be much fun...except Phlash may get to learn to drift. This car on wet surface, DSC off=slip and slide.

I'm entertaining the idea of purchasing a new set of tires/wheels to put on my car after we have finished our day long event. I think my OEM rubber will be pretty well spent.

I am going to be ordering a set of the RT-615 Azenis sometime this month. Going up to the 245/40/18, so that it stay's on the stock wheel. If I at some point can find another set of stock wheels again, I will be setting up a dedicated track tire.
Silver, are you looking to have 2 full sets of wheels and tires?

I'm gonna try something with my in-car camera to try to reduce the wind noise. I'm gonna take the foam from an old headset and cut a couple of pieces out of it. Then I'll use small amount of super glue to glue the foam over the microphone on the camera. Hopefully, that'll help reduce the buffeting sound of the wind blowing over the microphone. I don't know if it'll work but it's worth a try.

. I saw TrackAddict in action at The Rock a couple of months ago. I think we'll all be working hard trying to keep up with him.

I got your 'furry lwindjammer' but it isn't so little...... Sorry couldn't resist.
Sorry, windows down, don't worry rain won't melt you. If it does rain, you will be prying me from the track......AwD.......

Guys - this thread is reminding me of the excitement and camaraderie this time last year as we started planning the Road Atlanta NASA event in March. I find myself checking this thread about 5 times per day. This is a bit more exciting though as we all realize that this is our own track day and the start of a GA RX8 Club tradition. I am really looking forward to January 21.
