Don't worry Cathy or Drew for that matter,  CHiPs in the vicinity are still in sugar induced comas brought on by the free breakfast at Denny's from Tuesday

Hey Art,

Yeah, we're running Race 13 clockwise as I understand it.  No Star Mazda and no "extension" at the other end of the track.

This is a very good configuration.  It's actually safer this way IMHO and a bit faster too.  Though I like Star Mazda, that extension can unsettle the car (not sure why we ran it last year).

The "sweeper" that we are running instead of Star Mazda puts you right into the "Esses".  Be careful here as you enter the Esses as that first berm can be slippery if you approach it too fast or at the wrong angle.  I just line the car up and drive right on top of it.

Dan, I was looking at the configuration and noticed exactly what you mentioned, seems like coming out of Star Mazda you have additional time to line the car up as you head into the Esses.

I loved going into Star Mazda last year, since it was fast, I was able to catch one of my 'over steering' episodes and recovered nicely, too bad Lance didn't take a picture of that, only the Sunset spin. >u

Looking forward to driving - been too long.

I just posted up an ad for dedicated track rim in the for sale section.  Save your stock or custom wheels for the street and run these light weight forgelines at BW.  They are light and strong and you'll shave minutes off of Dan's times   

Price drop, check the classifieds

Hey guys,

Just checked the weather for next weekend.

Looks like the rain is gone.

One more important bit of information for everyone coming to this event.

If you haven't had time to get your maintenance or routine track prep done at one of our local vendors, Archer Racing will be at the track and can do this for you.  They can do oil and other fluid changes along with alignments, Corsa installs, clutch changes, brakes, tires, engine changes, etc. etc.  They can do almost anything and all at a very fair price.

Call John Archer for more info at: 218-727-4806

See you at the track,

Anyone interested in Dr. J's custom travelling CDs with approximately 6 hours of Wolfman Jack shows for the 08 -09 vipers with MP3 capacity CD players, let me know.  I can also make single shows 1-2 hours in length, for the older Generation I-III CD players.  Great traveling music and the Wolfman takes you back to American Grafitti in your viper traveling up the 5 through the grapevine !!!! 

Dr. J's Traveling CDs, Inc.   >g

Hey Hemotox,
I'd like to get one of those cd's from you. My Gen 2 will play MP3's.

Remind me to give you a '08 DVD too.

Sorry, no Hula girls for ButtonWillow.  Too distracting !!

Hey Guys,

We will be in garage #4, same as last year.

Look for the little red trailer.

I'll be running test and tune.

Okay, PCH, I'll send you a few, can run about 6 hours on one CD if you can play MP3.  I'll throw in a couple of single ones for OGO, give him something to sing along with as he heads back to San Diego County.
