Never driven with these guys before, but I've heard good things. $125 for 2.5 hours of track time is hard to beat. You "have to" miss work though (weekday events). I usually work at home Wednesdays anyway, so this time my...phone, yeah that's it...terrible phone problems. I was there working all day, honest. Oh, you tried to call? Hmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Anyways, I got the fuel tank venting and seat moving issues fixed, and a few other trivialities from the last event. Haven't gotten my new "Design by Ya-Roon" numbers made up yet, but not really necessary for this event. Next time. This is really just a test/tuning day for fun, but I'm anxious to see how the car does on the faster track. At Streets of Willow I only see a few seconds of 4th gear in this car and nowhere near top speed, probably 90-ish. Wednesday we will see top speed or very close to it, in the turn 7-8 section and the end of the front straight. Should be interesting. I most likely will be by-far the lowest powered, and maybe oldest, car out there with this group. Race prepped 996's, Vipers, Vettes, NSX's etc will probably be there. |

L8, re "FWD push-mobile"--
Don't worry, you can still get a CRX to spin. Seen it quite a few times. In the "esses" at Sears Point, actually. The guy I was crewing for just didn't know how to take turn 9 (I think it was 9; 9 is the left-hander and 10 is the right-hander just before pit-in, right?) and looped it four out of ten laps his first time out there in that same spot. Yipe!! Didn't collect anyone, though--he was very careful about letting everyone else get through before he got to that part of the track. Happily, someone clued him in about how to take the turn before his second run group. Heh, I even got my CRX into a lovely four-wheel drift on the way to work this AM!
