The folks at Aiken were great hosts the last time we were there. It was central enough that there was a great turn out. My 02 cents - I vote to go back.

How are the classes structured? Dial in or index? My C6 is bone stock, and will be on street tires.. I'd be up for this if we're on a dial in -- but i don't want to make the trip to get stuck on a 12.0 index or something...

How far is the track from charlotte area?

Well, Liz, if you can't be there to whoop up on Joe, I'll have to see if I can do it for you. Last time in SC I was a spectator, this time I plan to be a participant!!!


Julie!

Rollbar at 11.49 (5 or 6 pt)
Rollcage at 10.99 (12 pt)

Last year was bracket and heads-up...no index this year should be the same should we decide to go forward.

Dave, fire jacket can be gotten from www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com

What have I done to you beautiful women to deserve a whoopin? Well maybe you can settle for a spanking instead.
