I'll snap his neck.
I plan on signing up if the weather looks good. Figure since we'll already have to pay the late fee, I'll wait until next tuesday or so to see what the weather looks like.

Jeremy from Trackdaze told me they will provide numbers free of charge if i don't have any, but I was planning on ordering some magnetic ones to be able to use whereever. I was looking at this site and they offer 4", 8", and 10" sizes. Is there a standard size that most organizations require?

By the way, they did say there is a tech form that you need to get filled out by a local shop before the day of the event. They said you can see it when you register.

They don't tech at the event. That blows, need to see if I can get a local shop to do one. I'll have thr trackdaze people send me one so I can see what is required. I would go with 10" just in case. Only 2 hrs. to your place, I should be there by 8 if all goes well.

Looks like they do a tech at the track and want you to fill out a pre-tech form. I looked at the form and it says it is "highly suggested" that you have it inspected by a "competent service technician" that is familiar with the make and model of your vehicle.

I do have to say the guy I've been emailing with (Jeremy) has been extremely helpful, polite, etc. The website is trackdaze.com if I forgot to mention that earlier.

We had great weather on Saturday and some good seat time. Except for the fact that I had to leave early. Hope next time we can get more to show up. As an FYI DON'T EVER DRIVE ON A ROAD THAT HAS JUST BEEN OILED!
Tried to clay bar it and it was not working to well, probably would have taken about 5 hours with the clay and about 10 bars. Instead I used Turtle wax bug and tar remover. the oil came off like butter, took 1 hour. Washed the car afterwards and now I'll clay it and put a fresh coat of wax.

Ditto on devildog's advice.
Hey, you gonna post that video of that Viper spinning in front of you? For those that weren't there - apparently this viper guy didn't want to get passed by an RX-8, but he spun himself out trying to stay ahead of Alex....

I posted a few pics that my wife took from last weekend's track day. Unfortunately I think Alex was already gone when she was taking pictures, so they are all of me

Your mom does!
I went ahead and signed up for that 150 buck day at autobahn. It is the north course. Figure it will give me a chance to learn that track before running the full course.
