I wish I could make it but the wife is working that weekend.

Do yourselves a favor and watch as much video of the track (in the right configuration) as you can. Most corners are blind so you need to know which way the track goes before you get to the hill before the corner. You will take at least 3-4 sessions just trying to learn the track and it's easy to get "lost" and lose track of where you are.

No. SA = Sports Application. M = Motorcycle is not enough for use in a car on a track. You must get an SA2000 or newer. (I'm surprised that they're still accepting SA200 as most organizations are at 2005+ now.)

Zack - Just received my glass/lexan roof panel. More head clearance for the event! I also bought a GoPro 4 Black so there'll be plenty of video too!

See everyone on Friday am!
