I bought an oil catch can and a new air filter so hopefully I won't have any more oil getting in my intake 
The filter should be here by the end of August so my run around Nurburgring will be a good way to break it in.

I go to sleep as soon as I get home and only manage to get up at around 1400 and then I got another hour or two to mess around before I have to get ready for work again.

I work 12's 4/3 and 5/2 alternating each week. So 12 hours at work, 40 minutes driving (roundtrip) 8hours sleeping and 30 minutes to get ready doesn't leave me with a lot of free time.

Well my schedule is changing in Sept so I'm not sure if I'll have the same days off or not. I have a new filter coming in so I want to try to get to Nurburgring at the end of August.

haha that sucks. Speed traps are so common around here. I never speed on any well-used roads. Between Nurburgring and Hockenheimring I can get my speed fix taken care of. Plus there are some sweet twisties near my house.

We're leaving from Rome on september, 13th at 4am and should be there by night ready to eat. There's a race on the 14th and then we'll be able to lap on the 15-16th 
I'll post our program as soon as it's clearer, we're buying the 15 laps passes that's for sure!

I would never have the stamina for that much driving. Too worried about my tires to do that many laps. They got pretty heated up when I did Hockenheimring so I only did 1 heat. I'm too conservative I think sometimes, but then again it's better than smashing your car into the rails as I've seen too many people do.
