Thanks for the info. I will try and swing by their paddock next weekend.

Default One final question......

what is the best way to make sure my race car is ready and top condition for CR?......

Dawe's Motorsports originally built the engine and set it up, should I contact them and let them do whatever needs to be done to be competitive again......

or should I take it to my local shop who has been taking very good care of it during my DEs?.......

The answer to me is very clear, but I would like to hear your advice......

Paolo, quit pulling our chain here, and get with the program. Thunderbolt is the perfect venue because we'll all be on equal ground. Except for Gary, of course, who will probably have 7 DE's in by then....love you guys.....

Yeah, not fair that we all run up our credit cards to the limit while you ask us what it's like......

HEY! How did I get involved in this?


Paolo - give it to Dan, tell him to make it ready for the club race and use him for support there. All you have to do is show up and drive, will make the whole experience a LOT simpler for you..

and yes Charlie, it's at Lightning.. but let's let Frank keep practicing at Thunderbolt..

See, I don't even know the names of the circuits. No doubt you guys have all done track walks already, if not found some sim and lapped it at 3am. To me, Thunderbolt is the name of the whole place. No matter to me; "when the green flag drops, the bull**** stops". And then some time after the checker, Paolo will be asking us what it was like.....Oooooohhhh, I shoulda let that go.......

One of the criteria to go club racing is a signed certification from your Region's CI. Hopefully he/she doesn't read Rennlist.
