Scott, you'll be the first to know! The HPDE event at Daytona is very tempting. If it weren't for that speed killing chicane before turn 3, I would already be registered. I still may do it though.

Those Talladega vids give me wood. 6 more months!!!

Autobahn 5, just outside Frankfurt, Germany?

191 mph.

If you are serious, you can always ship your car over (About $3500-$4000), take it on the NurburgRing and enjoy a 3 week vacation tearing up the Autobahns in between cities.

I haven't signed up for Daytona yet.....but the helmet is on order, I am researching brakes....since I drive mine...and need a state inspection this month so i figured I would change out to DOT4......looking at track ins options.....hmmm I can be swayed

If I go toughest decision drive it down the boring interstate or tow it behind the RV on the trailer I swapped for a truck.

I regret not doing a NCCAR event 2hrs away from me a few weeks ago....lacked a helmet! Time to take it to the track

A stock GS won't come anywhere close to 192mph, regardless of the amount of road available.

Nice trailer. I'm probably going to trailer mine to Dega next May too. I put Hawks pads on mine not long ago.

DonOH,

I'm currently looking at that silver state classic link you posted. Thankya
