I'll be gentle next weekend is my last in CA I think.
Will you be back? Come out a beer.

Be back Wednesday night, pick up car Thursday I hope. Might run into domestic issues if I left the wife to catch up at home on her own so soon after the trip. Would love to though....

I know several people, myself included, who would love to help with breaking at TH on Thursday.

We can do the GT3 challenge; sample the flavors of all cars! I'll put mine in the mix if you show up.

When you've been married to someone as long as I have, you know what will fly and what won't. These won't.....although she'd find the manual hysterical....

That is great.

Boy, was I born in the wrong generation.

I would have loved to have been an 8 year old playing with my new Lionel F3 toy train while listening to Jackie Gleason's new Christmas album and having my Mom serve my dad a martini at 11 am Christmas morning. Being born in the mid 70's sucked. Early end baby boomers had it the best!

Wow, this thread took a turn... Anyway, I tried the seat out at a track day last saturday (without harness yet). Even without harness, it's a huge improvement for me in edurance, and smaller but welcome help in precision of steering. I very much recommend it to anyone who tracks. Does not look too bad either (pics below)

I just got a roll bar installed earleier today and will see it tonight, so wil post pics of that and will test it this Saturday.

I will be working hard to pay for all the Chasen's hard work :-). My business partner returns from a business trip to a war zone tomorrow (literaly, not figuratively), so it would be a very bad time for me to take a day off to go to track. I thought about showing him one of my "Oops" videos and saying "Hey, I'm risking my life here too" but something tells me it's a bad idea.

It's an acceptable excuse.
Tuesday California Mancation is over and I kinda feel bad for the first guy that calls that will have to pay for it all :-)

I like this, a lot. Two questions:
1-Did you have anyone figure out how to deactivate air bag light?
2-I realize the seats are not adjustable but is the install height variable? I am 6'4" and need the seat cushion height to be at the same level as the stock seat in its lower most position.
