Good deal. Hope to see more of you there. Hopefully, I will be pimping my new enclosed gooseneck aluminum trailer by then. I just need to make some aluminum extender ramps and install the Scruffy1 car tie down system.

You should ask Timothy Treadwell what happened when he poked a bear. Oh, nevermind...

Between now and May 3 I plan on:
Fix boost leak!
Possible R/R IAC
Tunage
New pads
Hydraulic flush/fill
adjust rear sway bar
Install camber plates (t)
Install positive steering response system (ALK) (t)
CG lock (t)

Let me know if you get a deal on the CG lock, i want one.

I would opt out of the PSRS too. Install and price there are other options for you are this point.

I added you guys to the participants. if NESHOC goes well on the 3rd i might stick with them instead of BMW since there are about 1/3 of the number of cars so hopefully that means more runs

They run about 50-60 drivers, BMW caps out at 100. 50 cars in a run group gives your tires plenty of time to cool off between runs and plenty of time to get ride alongs in several cars. Downside is that it makes for a long day at BMW events. We got home around 7:30 last night, and it was after 8 by the time my car was offloaded and tucked into the garage. BMW events also fill up in hours, the Ford based clubs usually do not fill up until just before the run date.

The 3 Ford based club courses are usually set up by the same people, and they are very long. They use up the runways almost to the very ends. Long slalom past the cruisers, connected to another on the connector.
Funny thing about the Ford based clubs, they run together with a Corvette club. Lots of Vettes there, not very many Fords. The core group of Ford guys now all drive Miata's, and some have switched to Vettes.
