Gonna have to miss this one, but I'll be at Cal Speedway on the 27th.

Sorry about the Radical, Craig. Damn Porsches need to learn to get out of the way. They only think they're fast. (Like that dumb Utah GT3 @ BW a few weeks ago) Glad Radical West had you up and running so quickly. (I'll bet it wasn't cheap) Must be nice to have your own traveling pit crew.

Have fun everyone who's going.

Craig, maybe you should install a loud air-horn so you can let them know you are comin' through.
I bet he didn't offer to pay for anything.

Robert, I don't think it's worth changing brakes and wheels if it rains. Times don't matter once it rains (and it's not a points event anyway), and so use it as a practice day, for traction sensing in particular. Every tire has it's limit, the limit's just lower if shaved. The goal is to drive as close to the car/tires' limit as you can.

Not sure how I would feel driving down hwy5 in the rain...
Oh yeah, forgot that you drive to the track on the same tires. Definitely not safe for the street. So now you need a trailer.
BTW, the two times I went to the track in rain I still switched to the shaved tires to practice.

If it looks like rain maybe we will have to do a rental car challenge.
