We will be there with 3 cars - RogueWave, GeorgeZ and myself.

I applied to this event late realizing that I needed more seat time with the new LS7 power before going to WGI in 3 weeks. I was told that there were no advance slots open at this time so for now I am slated in the group below unless something opens.

Should be a fun time aand I get to run with the people I am coming with which is always cool....

I dont think the blue group will be slow although I remember moving up to the advance group thinking the guys in the advance group are fast

Doesnt matter I have to work on basic skills and I want to get video of the ECS cars so all is good.....

Maybe beg, plead, and whine a lot...

Just had a perfect day at LRP - upper 60's and could not find a cloud.
Shaking out the new engine and suspension settings. Much better,
and need to play with the tire pressures a bit more.
Black flagged for noise, fist time in 7 years. Think thge new noise cop had his head where the sun does not shine, but put on my exhaust turn downs, and was ok. Turner Motorsports finally got their Grand Am BMW
out during the 3rd session. Beautiful car!!

The wires were torn off the switch inside the handle. Really strange since it worked to unload the car. Had to buy 2 spade connectors at the track shop, and cut/strip/crimp the wires. Still cludgy at the moment. Hope to clean this up during the week before CVCC. Just something else I need to add to the toolbox.... never enough spare parts, tools. Always missing a critical part or piece.
Are you still planning to come visit? Sat or Sun?

Saturday I bought a big box of assorted connectors and keep them in the truck from Homepro use them at work on the equipment.

If anyone is looking to cancel hotel reservations and lease a nice 3-bedroom house that's within 5 miles of the track, PM me.

We've had a few of the T1 race crowd stay here for race weekends and the place is just awesome.
