Wonder if they will let me drive in boxers and a wife beater....no shoes....clothes and shoes have to be worth a few pounds
When I put the Sharkey full track by pass on; he recommended the EVOMSit flash which was designed with the pipes for maximum performance.

Does the .2 RS need the upgrade to counter loss of back pressure?

I keep a bag of disposable earplugs for co-pilots (seriously)

Now take off the A/C (which the Cali boys seem to always need) and you will be ~40 lbs lighter and your car finally will be properly spec'ed!!

At the earliest May, but more likely going north, Road America, Mid Ohio, Watkins Glen if my Amex and wife will let me..

Send me the insider scoops and where to drive Tail of the Dragon, we'll want to spend driving around entire day Monday April 18th. in between Road Atlanta and VIR..

We were texting...very loud at Sebring 12hr race. DDog got some new cell phone and could not figure it out. He's back to his old original Black Berry....it's so 996.

Everything still pending wife and Amex approval..

Right now it looks more like I will go with PCA 13+14+15.
But I have not decided anything yet.

With Diesel prices, I might ship the car also and just fly in for track events..

Auto train on Amtrack.....laugh now its cheap to ship a car

And they have an open bar on the Train

Now if they only had a train with a Jiggly Bar......sitting on sniffers row while traveling to a DE sure would make things more fun

I bought a Ducati in DC and brought it back via the Autotrain. Easily chalk that up to one of the more creepy experiences I've had. The jiggly bar would have made it much more interesting
