Default Mini Mancation Road America for 5 track days

Another Mini Mancation diary entry for myself coming up; Driving from Palm Beach to Road America over the weekend.

Haven't been driving the car enough, so driving up and shipping it back.
Hit some nice driving roads north of ATL.

Changed oil (Overfill warning lol), new MPSC2 tires, tired rotors (20 days front, 60 days original rear when I get home) and good RE10 pads (Only couple days on them) should get me through the end I hope for 2 days David Murry and 3 days PCA.

Was planning to ship the car west to Mooty from there but an emergency at work, so that got canned.

Will do a 2 year 24,000 mile, 60 track day middle-of-warranty-life service / refresh when I get back.

Have a safe fun drive up. Would like to meet up when/if you have time during the RA events. Better to come down during David Murray or for PCA event? Can come down and hang out a bit or meet for dinner or whatever. I am only about 75 minutes away. If I was smart would have signed up for some track time. Maybe next time.

Will PM you my cell.

Have a safe, fun drive boys! I'll be doing the same myself, towing the lux-o-barge from NorCal out to Road America. Very disappointed you can't join us at Thunderhill for the Mooty private day. Won't be the same without you. But I'll be sure to drink a Stella in your honor.

Peter good chance I'll be at Road America next Saturday - just spectating.

I was at Road Atlanta the day you had the little incident into turn 10A, so we didn't get to meet that day.

Not sure if my car is back and services by then, but I did just put track pads and brake fluid on the E63.

As a matter of fact, I just just bedded them in..

Work will decide for that event, TBD.

It's not about having an RS; It's about what you do with RS..
