BTW, for the e85 guys there is a Kroger on 1187 about 15 mins from the track. If anyone needs me to fill up 2 five gallon jugs I have, I can bring them along

What a great day out at the track. Thank you again Don for setting up this wonderful day. Also, Kelly, Mark, Laramie, Tim, Chad, Quincy, Tehien, and all of the corner workers, thank you for your time and help. We could not have had such a wonderful day without you. Leah wanted to make sure to say "Thank You" to everyone that gave her a ride along especially Tim who makes it look so easy, while going so fast

A personal thanks goes out to PTP and Kyle. They lent me a couple of tools that helped me fix my UICP (knew I should have switched to constant torque clamps). Also, after only being able to run 3 laps because of car issues, Kyle came all the way back to Ft Worth, fixed his car and came back out to the track, just to support NTEC and help out with instruction. He personally showed me a much faster line and is an awesome instructor.

Everyone that didn't get to make it out should definitively try to make it out to a track event in the future. I have been to track days before and to be able to run 5 sessions in almost unheard of and at a price of $85, it is the best deal I have ever heard about. It lets you see the limits of your car (stupid trans cooler) or better yet, your limits as a driver.

+1,000! Thanks again to Don for sponsoring this, and all of our track & classroom experts. That was the most fun in a car I've had in years!

Thanks to Don, Kelly, Tim and all the crew. This was an outstanding event. After
watching the Evo's, I was thoroughly impress with the brand... definitely will be
looking at one when I get ready to buy another vehicle in the future.

My personal thanks go out to Chad who helped me finally start getting my line
down... too bad it was the last run of the day. Chad is a great teacher and
obviously has a true passion for the sport.

It was great to meet everyone... and you Evo owners are not as bad as everyone says

Hope too see you guys again soon...

I had a great time at the track day with everyone. Thank you to all the instructors that offered great advice on the track.

I wanted to personally thank Laremy (sp*) for riding with me 3 times on the track. It was unfortunate that I lost the car on the last session but I appreciate all the help in my time of need.

Thanks to the guys that put on the event!

Looking forward to seeing some more pictures if you guys took any!

I was in the Yellow Type R
