I will be there instructing, running TTC (maybe?) for Friday - Sunday. Hopefully, will have a new car to start shaking down by then. Getting a roll cage put in it now. Still trying to decide what the fuel system is going to be like (not stock).

In addition to the Grand-Am races at Mid-Ohio, Barber, Miller(?), and VIR, I will also be doing NASA at Mid-Ohio middle of July (rather than CMP), NASA-MidAtlantic at VIR the following weekend, and of course this event in August.

I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Rob, glad you will be joining us. Look forward to seeing your new ride and set-up. Will you have graphics on it by that time?

We are becoming quite a group these days. 5 of our members are going to be instructors at this event.

I am going to be there in some capacity - driving or viewing - still to far out to tell. Looks like one I shouldn't miss. Not as close as OMS - but still too darn easy to get to.

You best not wait if you want to drive. I suspect it will fill up.

Lego, I checked into the labels today. It's going to cost me about $40. The size you gave me, should I stay 1" in all the way around? So should I maybe make it to fit 42" x 5" MAX.

42 x 5 would more than likely be better since we'll be able to adjust exactly where we want it that way.



Then we'll also have the option of having it above or below the trim.

Thiniking about a fuel cell in the trunk. I have never been happy with what we have had to do in order to get the fuel out of the stock tanks. Plus something inherently wrong with a fuel tank in the passenger compartment using highly modified fuel system. Still trying to get approval for the changes we want to incorporate just in case we decide to register the car for Koni.

thats makes a lot of sense--built in sump-- etc --hope they let you do this -- lyou would think as long as there is no"advantage" they would allow the KISS rule. Good luck on the decision.

I was thinking front and back designs. Front pocket has a rotors/shaft on it and around it says, "Your heart beats, mine spins"

Then on the back something about the GA RX8 club or the national club.
