Yes that is typically how it goes at a regular race or test & tune track day/night but Atco rentals are done a little differently. As Gary said, he and Rob will go over all of that in the morning before you run.

Thanks for all the tips guys, very helpful.
If there's still a slot open by Friday, I'll be able to PayPal then.
It would be nice to get some practice time in without stress, for sure. It will also be nice to get a baseline established with my current mods, and then return later after gear swap, ECS tune, better tires, etc...
I just gotta get off the fence and just do it already!

Hey Gary.. We'll have some setup & tuning left to do before the rental, but I'll take a spot for the 11SS. Shoot me your Paypal.

Alriiiight! Some new rides in on the fun.
The new Bogarts will be here 9-14.
Just need to figure out tires. Cant find matching front and rears for 16x10 rear and 17x5 front.
RSD bar coming in a few days as well so I can come out and play more often.

Scott,
Why not go with 26x11.5x16 ET Streets and M&H bias ply skinnies?

I didn't even look at MTs.
I was looking at MH and Hoosier slicks.
Only other concern is running out of gear with 4.10s.

You can trap 140 mph and still be under 7500 rpm.

Any chance of me paying for a tune while you're there?!?
I've got one of those Stage 2 JET Performance Modules that I'm dying to replace with a real ECS tune!

That may be cutting it tight with the new build. May look at 3.73s.
