I am doing the Friday Trackdaze. Not sure if the "Reduced Engine Power" thing is fixed or not. It doesn't do it on the dyno, and the TB and Pigtail have been switched out. If I could find a place secluded enough around here to find out before going would be cool. It randomly does it in 4th at 5500 rpms and above (+120). Hopefully - no issues.

BTW - how has your oil cooler performed? Seems like it was a different type than most, cooler between rad and block(?).

So the time has come! Have a great time. I really liked trackdaze when I ran w/them last year at Summit.

Stay cool--the Gatoraid thing worked very well in June.

What are the minimum laps times required to be able to park on the hill?

The "OTH" gang will be ther in strength. Nancy is running the Mazda event so we will only be there for that. The guys are instructing for Mazda but I am pit b!tching for Nancy. Look for the Palm tree and flamingoes

Do you have a Corvette?
If no - did you have one at one time?
If no - do you know one of the hill guys?

Yes to any of these questions gets you on the hill!

Yes I will be there all 4 days, staying at the Sleep Inn I guess.
The 92 is running so I don't have to be embarrased driving a Rustang (RIP)

I can't wait - was doing car prep last night, found missing and loose rear shock bolts. Fixed her all up ! Final packing tonight and heading out tomorrow AM.
