Thx guys. I'm not the fastest out there but at least I do watch my mirrors. Especially if there is a BSR or red GT3 filling them up.

^thats my biggest peave at the track drivers not being aware or using mirrors- a potential incident waiting to happen. Mike

Nah, just got busy, and PCA dates wound up being in conflict all the time. I think the GT3 only saw 1 or 2 whole track days last year. Co-running the CCA clinic program sucks up a lot more time than I expected.

Sounds sweet! Sign me up! Especially since Canada kick Slovakian's a$$ in hockey tonight. I had to hold table at a pub for a couple hours before game time....killed many pints of Kilkenny in the process.....shouldn't be on the computer now. (have to retype every word due to spelling mistakes. )

lol! My head hurts less today....

Another TH question: when are the best months to go to TH when there is no rain, but it isn't stinking hot. My version of "hot" is probably your version of "I can leave the jacket at home today."

70*F would be perfect.

I really wish all the West Coast Clubs would coordinate their schedules with each other. I realize that's probably an impossible task, but it's frustrating to see events I'd like to attend scheduled on top of each other.

In March PRC/NASA has Sears the weekend before PCA has T-Hill which is the same weekend POC has Spring Mountain. Urrr....

least likely to rain,
least likely to become human BBQ under the sun.

Was at Thill when it was 115 once, Mooty was also there that day (like pretty much every other day...). Parked under the awning and when the wind blew it was like being in a convection oven, even in the shade. The Evo's and Vette's all lasted 1-2 sessions, that was before the heat really kicked in. Most everyone else called it a day at lunchtime. Ran my fastest laps in the afternoon...made me appreciate how amazing the GT3 really is. Stay away July-Sept.
