Just got back from my first HPDE weekend. I had a blast, and I can't wait to do it again!

I don't know about a full tire rub, but I did end up with scub-off scuff marks. Thank GOD for the clear-bra and Goof Off.




And as for NASCAR, I am sure I will catch flak for this, but...

Thank you! Low 1:50's but there's much more room for improvement (me, not the car)!

That's really cool!
I'm guessing you are above and beyond HPDE days with that car, so I'll probably never see you at the track, but if I do, I will stop over and beg for a ride-along!
