I'll be there. I won't be racing my car though.

Feel free to walk up to any of the drivers there and start asking questions. They're all good peeps.

The tech card is $30 to race in the CC. Also, E-Town makes everyone buy a permanent number - it's $5. I don't mean permanently attached to your car, it's just a random number they assign you. You will use that number for any race event at e-town.

I'll be in my blue 04 vert.

i might be down. I don't have track tires either but i do want to run a couple times this season. They rent helmets, but apparently if you have any kind of power adder, you need a fire jacket as well. Gotta find something..

If you just want to do runs and test and tune type of stuff, its a much better bet to go to Island drag way, you will get lots more runs.

You will be lucky to get 2-3 runs at Etown most of the time.

I have a brand new snell rated helmet that I bought last season. But never ran my car and literally never wore the helmet at all. I paid 130. I'd take 80. I would rather buy one then wear a helmet that 100 people had on

I usually go up to Island on Friday nights. Can get a lot of runs in for $25. Need to get the car on the track soon being that I just put new tires on her and she'll actually hook. 275 NT05's up front and 345 NT05R's in the rear!

Good luck tomorrow though.

Was a fun day of racing yesterday, I was there in my Z28 running in the GM EFI class but next time might bring out the Corvette and enter the Corvette Challenge once again.
