Dano,

Looks like I'm meeting Lucid Moments (NASA) at the Macon Wendy's between 11:00 and 11:30. He may have oe other, but we'd love you to join us. TA is still looking at his schedule.

I'm not going to use my "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, No Rain Dance" this time as South Georgia needs the rain and I figure I'll do my part to help out. My brother lives in Waycross.

Well, I finally fessed up at breakfast this morning that I was installing something that would make my car a little louder! It actually went over pretty well. I was suprised. She said our neighbor would probably call the cops brcause it was too loud already!

Sooooooo.... I'm going out to install the the mid-pipe now.

I've been looking for excusses to go get things all day! Honey, need to take the trash to the dump? Need me to go get groceries? Want me to go get pizza for dinner! Want me to change the oil in your car? She knows I'm kissing up and she loves it! Guess it works both ways.

I'm really starting to like this exhaust more. With the back seats in, it's not as loud as I remember. Before I never drove it with em in.

Hey Phlash - congrats on the IC.
Not a bad showing of RX8s!

Keep in mind that some of the TT guys also instruct so there should be enough instructors for everyone.

Phlash, did you ever get solid directions to which Wendy's? If I can swing it that I can be out o here in time, will be there. If you are coming down 75, you are going to pass my place about 100 miles earlier.

Got back from go-karting and got my conf e-mail from Julie. Beware, questions and PM's may be forthcoming to all of you. I got my number! 007 of course. Gonna be a pain making 0's with painters tape....

Read over everything but the one think you will need to make sure you do is print out the tech form and fill out the top 3/4 to the point where you sign and date. Cary it with you to the tech station and they will fill out the bottom portion, check your helmet & number and give you a sticker for your windshield to allow you on the track.

- Wear long pants and a short sleeve shirt.
- Carry a couple extra quarts of oil, you will probably need one.
- Carry plenty of water. If you are peeing and sweating, you are doing fine.
- Carry pencil/pen with you to your class
- Sun screen is a MUST!
- Make sure you have a cap.

Don't worry about:
- Tire pressure gauge
- Tire pump
- Torque wrench or other tools
As you grow into tracking you will acquire as you need.

You mostly need to just enjoy yourself and learn.

Dano, I can swing by no problem......let me know where.....in terms of the exit we are meeting folks at, I have this from OD....

Spring Street exit--the 1st exit after the I/75-I/16 junction. Take a right from the exit and cross a bridge and Wendy's is right there on the right. About 3/4 mile from the exit.

I will definately not make the Seat Time event on Friday. I have no idea what time I will be getting out of Atlanta either on Friday. I may be driving home from Charlotte and then packing up my car to head to Savannah. Dammit! I sure am glad I got my oil and filter changed, inspected my car, and did brakes and a good bleed job this weekend!

Awesome OD. It's really not so bad with the back seats in. Take it downtown between buildings and listen or in a long underpass.... you will wet your pants! I've really gotten quite comfortable with mine.

Making my list and checking it twice! I am not overthinking this - I know there will be tons of info and stuff to learn, and most of what I expect will be wrong. I will prepare for hot temps. Thought I had a pair of cotton scrubs I could pull over shorts for actual track time, but can't find them.. Chas gonna do brake bleed and a look around just so I don't have to have any concerns about that.

Good folks, I had previously thought that Dano ran RA, but came to find out this am that I was mistaken. That was Derrick. Sooooooooooooo, we have a TRACK VIRGIN on our hands!!!! WooHoo!!!

So, I will bring the overspray tarp and the super blue lube and the pump sprayer. OMS, please bring the tie downs and the black sludge goves. OD, can you bring the battery charger again? This time the one with the trickle charge, not the boost, we don't want any burns this time.....that was bad........and finally, TA, if you will bring the ceremonial checkered thong and pink halter......

WOOHOO!!!!! STOKED!!!!!
