(Red eg hatch with splatter paint hood)

Tuner Eddy- I got $20 on my hatch weighing more than your coupe

All who don't know my car is a street car full interior, dynamat, A/C, cruise. Turbo LSV with LS trans and open diff. I drive it almost everyday. It's by no means fast or a track car.
I'll take that bet! Good thing the track has scales! I honestly hope you win that bet. I'd love to know my car weighed less than a street hatch.

I wish I could be there guys but it looks like im going to miss it. Ill have just got off of a 40 hour road trip to NY and back. I might still try to make it if we get back in time. Will someone please keep track of the classes and winning times?

results will be posted on the website the day after the event.

Stay alert, im going to post a map this evening of the recommended parking setup so that we don't have an interference problem since this event will be a race and sport compact meet in 1.

Will the track be open the night before for some tnt?? I crack the block in my car so i won't be bringing that, but I have a few friends that are coming and we could use a few pass to tweak the cars.

They said there will be limited "test n tune" during time trials from 2-5 Saturday and maybe room for one more pass after the final round of eliminations for brackets. If you are desperate, there ya go...otherwise, well its up to you i guess with what i just said.

Matt,

Have they changed the opening times for the gates or still 1000?

It's "10" but the gate collectors said if people start lining up they'll just start processing people.

After looking at the weather report, I'm not sure if I will be coming or not. I'm going to keep my eye on the weather though.

Just got to the hotel room. That's a long 8.5 hours drive. Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow. See you guys in the morning.
