May have to try it some time. The thing is, if you get that kind of DA, it should be the same or better here in north Florida. I have a good track to go to in Adel Georgia. It just seems no one that I ever hear of has a track rental and as mentioned it is rare to have a good DA and the track open at the same time. Too bad you guys are so far away from me !

You don't need a track rental to do what you want to do....$25 and typically as many runs as you care to make, particularly if you get there early on a Wednesday.

I've been by that track in Adel, it does indeed look nice.

I'll be posting up track events next winter as we watch the weather forecasts...maybe you can hook up with Ranger and drive down.

Cool.

I need a rental because of good track prep. I have never run anything but Test & Tune and that is half-azz prep most of the time.

Honestly I just put a offer in on short sale house on Friday so I'm nervous to see what happens. It will be $500 more a month in payment but nearly double the square footage and a oversized 2 car garage. If everything goes through bring your son and wife cause we will have more spare bedrooms than we know what to do with being just 2 of us and 4 bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms and a half bathroom LOL! You can plan to come stay for the week. Get up here on Thursday or Friday, stay through to the next week for free and you will have if we plan it right the ability to go to 4 tracks (MIR,Cecil,Atco,Capitol) on Friday,saturday, sunday, tuesday, thursday,Friday,saturday sunday again and leave monday. That should fix you right up . Maybe Bring Joe_G up and maybe we can get PRE-Z06 to come up since i'll have plenty of room and you guys can race your hearts out!!! LOL!
Just an FYI, you will be stopping at my house also. I got a king size bed that can fit 3.

We can see if the procharged c5 can hang with your Z.
