I'll drive to get gas....at Spring Mountain at Pahrump, NV they don't sell gas to non-members of the track so you gotta drive about 4 miles to get gas which is fine. I'll do that after the 2nd sessions before lunch.

I'd be interested in BBQ if you're still taking interested parties.

Fuel: Yeah, avoid the Exxon. In fact, the last Chin event, they taped off all the 93 octane saying it was unavailable, probably because of all the shenanigans at previous events. And the COTA pumps were "out of order." So we were stuck driving down the road every time. Through the mud. And then after the first or second trip to the gas station in a given day, their payment software decided we were fraudulently making repeat purchases and we had to go inside and wait in line each time while somebody stood there for 10 minutes picking lotto tickets. So a splash of fuel became a 20 min detour.

Maybe the COTA pumps will be in service this time. Maybe someone should bring a barrel again? (cough, TexasRS)

I'm in Garage 19, btw.

TexasRS will have a barrel, but it is 104 octane and $9-10/gallon. You need to win with those lotto tickets to afford it for 3 days.

I bring 40 gallons in jugs to cover Sally and I.

I never had any issues, ran lots of 93 through my GT-R and a tuned M3 track car. I think it's a Chevron

Sitting in the hotel parking lot putting Antifreeze in da Civic, being from FL I usually run just water and Pencool 2000 as freezing is not an issue. Last year it snowed at TWS but I figured being a month later I would be OK Crazy Winter Weather

My car has no coolant either. Transport is starting up to keep warm. Should be ok tho it's not that cold and I assume garages are slightly warmer. I think tonight is coldest tomorrow warms up a bit. He won't be there until after lunch
