You already have aftermarket wheels so you might want to keep the 19" fronts and consider picking up a matching pair of 19" wheels for the rear. This will allow you to start running Hoosiers
Thanks!

It's not necessary. Some people do just for fun.

The number "44" does create drag on the passenger side but it is mitigated by the aero effect on the driver side.

Jim, a few of us are doing the event at Road America early June, then my car goes to Katech after that, and they will have it until TA. You should try to do the RA event with us if you are going to be up there in that neck of the woods (this assumes you will have your car up there).

I just had my 50th birthday yesterday. I guess I was a very good boy this year. My wife and Jason conspired and have me coming to Track Attack....a very nice surprise! Gotta say thank you to my wife for getting it for me and forcJason helping her out and keeping it a secret!

Jason,

You can finally put on the attending list!

Does anyone have any transport plans from the Northwest?

I look forward to meeting everyone finally and having a great time!

Great news Jeff! TA is the best event in the country, period. If you are taking your car I guess mine better go as well. We need to talk.

Jeff,

This will be a birthday trip that will lead to an annual pilgrimage to Track Attack. This event has huge excitement built up every year and for good reason!

Dean make it happen and bring a few more with you. Think of all the cash you'll save with no rental!

But it is easy to see the tires and brakes are used up.

You are going to have a blast, Jeff. We all look forward to meeting you. I hope your wife is attending.

I look forward to seeing your beast, Dean. You may save enough on air fair and rentals to pay for most of your upgrades!
