I don't have a good source on OEM parts and I doubt I could get much or any cheaper than Majestic Honda, sorry Jim 
I will do some poking around though.
Full course is what we want, but Lou said the NASA dates may already be booked up.
They haven't even opened registration for NASA ones...can't be full already!
Is Track DAze really that more time though? The NASA event I went to the other weekend had 3 x 25 min sessions = 75 min, while apparently TD are 4 x 20 min = 80 min...I think it just feels like you get more when you have 4 sessions v. 3.

I'm pretty sure trackdaze sessions are about 25 minutes as well. At least some of mine were at VIR. (when I wasn't late to them)

Track Daze are four 30 minute sessions.

Ron, I was thinking about that one. I need to confirm with the girlfriend that nothing is going on...luckily her birthday is the NEXT weekend after. 
Are you going to offer roll bar(s)?
Hey Pedro, that is a very good question...I hope to be a Hard Dog dealer but that is one supplier I need to get in touch with. I will try and let you know something ASAP.
Kevin?
Pedro?
Ken?
AAron? - Oh never mind he will still be in honeymoon.
I will try to make a decision soon about VIR. How does the villa work? How many rooms/beds are available?
I will do some poking around though.

Hey guys,
I am getting to the final stages of launching my ecommerce performance parts store
that I have been working on for the last several months, and hope to be officially launching things in the next week or so. There are a few loose (but very important) ends which must be tied up before I can take sales but I just wanted to tell my MidA brethren in advance (plus it will keep me from backing out at the last minute!). I will be looking to build credibility quickly (as well as pay my recurring monthly costs!) so I would love to do business with yall. I can probably get my track folk some good prices, and if anything happens, you know where to find me (hint: it's round and windy and smells like petrol and heated brake pads 
).
I am still building relationships with suppliers, but I can generally source a wide variety of parts. Just PM me or post on here.
Anybody need an APR wing? Stoptech Big Brake Kit? Let me know.
If you put your trust in me I will do my best to earn your business and provide you great service!
Trust me, I am more than a little nervous taking the risk of setting up a business, getting business credit, FEIN, etc. and have thought about quitting but now I am past the point of no return (or is that returning) and am ready to give this thing a shot.
Will provide more details as they arise!

Also, thanks for the recommendation on Canton...I will contact them for information on becoming a dealer.
Thanks Oleg! Let me know if you need anything!

I reserved both levels of a villa for October 12th, 13th and 14th. Hopefully, we will have enough guys from here to cover it. Whatever everyone wants to do, a reservation should be done ASAP because I have been surprised several times and wound up in Danville or even worse, Roxboro, NC. Not staying on the resort diminishes the experience IMHO.

I probably sound like a broken record but man I do I need to get my car out on track bad. I just can't walk away from it. I'm even starting to convince myself that if I'm only going to do it twice a year it's probably still worth it.
