I don't have Don's PayPal list, but I'll ask him to post something
I was hoping people would post up as they paid
If you didn't PayPal Don your cash, you've missed out by now.

I'm glad many people will be driving on their 'street' tires..
the 1.3 is pretty unforgiving for anyone that decides to leave the track w/out permission!!

re: todd's car... I dont plan on racing. this is a fun event. I'm coming on street tires. We can compare lap times and such to everyone's content, but what it boils down to is I'm not going to push my car hard the first time i've ever had it on a track. I just hope everyone has some fun out there in whatever they bring
+1, we don't want any barrel rolls off track

Too soon?

Not driving or not racing? I'd hoped to see your car on track doing some nasty power slides and all wheel burnouts :-)

Not driving. I need to change too many things for this car to be even remotely decent on a road course, tires/wheels/suspension/rotors/etc.

On a side note, does anyone with a decently prepped car mind if my girl friend rides along for a session? I'm trying to get her to understand why people go to road courses.

Yeah I can't have her coming back from the day saying "why the hell do you own a mitsu? buy a porsche!" That'd be one hell of a FML moment.

She can ride in mine, of course, after feeling your cars acceleration shes bound to be disappointed. You got 100 HP on me.

I want her feeling cornering G's. The straight line performance of my car only scares her. I'd like for her to ride in a prepped car so I can justify it later.

Tom's car on the ASTs probably is as well set up for proper cornering as anyone's other than truly track prepped cars. And if he gets his new tires on by then it'll be pretty nice. Just gotta see if the driver is up to it :-)

I heard that driver is a NUB!!!... I saw him run at a Porsche event and he ran a 78 second time. Chris Fleming ran the same car 72 and change.

I'm pretty sure she would just want one time around or so. Besides after smelling that BBQ we didnt get invited to I was thinking I might have you ride in the trunk.

todds car has a passenger seat for passengers for that very reason... to give rides its stupid fast with only 250whp and street tires. and since todd was invited to do the optima battery ultimate street car challenge finals, it might have a wee bit more power

Sounds like a winner. If Todd's up for it, I'm sure I could talk her into it.
