Here's the schedule I'm going to try to make: Chin (September 2016); EA (October 2016); and BMW (November 2016).

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the new alignment that ATX gave you after you get it on track. After the 2nd alignment they gave me I was suprised how different the car behaved. It took me a couple sessions to get used to all the new turn in and oversteer. Scary at first, but you end up liking it and end up asking ATX to make it more aggressive. Ask me how I know

ATX is good. Never heard a bad thing about them; however, if you want the best alignment for tracking your GT4, Colin@Soulspeed is the guy the go to. Trust me. He has spent many hours under ShakeNBake and my cars. He knows how to align a GT4 for going fast, while not being scary...and you'll probably pay quite a bit less too.

Just saying'....

I'll see you guys at those three events too. Hopefully I will pass my Chin check ride this time - Chin check rides are very tough and I have no idea why they failed me- the off wasn't that bad, was it? Oops...

Check ride for advanced? I can understand Bc there are a ton of people in the intermediate group relative to the advanced group.

Yes, if I remember correctly chin has two intermediate levels which runs together, but they are by far the fastest group with the best passing of anyone I have seen here locally. They take it to another level, especially at COTA where the big dogs show up for their events. Their intermediate group is at least as fast, or sometimes faster, than many other group's advanced groups, and with better passing...and more track time....

Doesn't matter anyway, the cars, us and the track will all be melting by noon anyway....

Geez I know, if you haven't looked at the roster of cars they are all amazing. Looks like the slowest car I see is a GT3

Agree, Collin is awesome!! I was at Soulspeed just today checking out Collin's CRX that we are driving at the Chump race at COTA in August. Talk about hot, an 8 hour endurance race on August 5 and 6 is going to be sweltering!!

Well it appears if one has a gt4 and is looking to move to austin, have no fear. There are at least 2 great places where you can take your gt4
