Who would be up for a track event / HPDE within the next month or two? 
a few of us started talking bout heading out to Streets of Willow sometime in the next month or two.
were planning a bit ahead so everyone has time to address any issues they might have with their cars, budget, schedule etc......
we will most likely be running the event with either "Redline" or "Speed Ventures"
http://redlinetrackevents.com
http://speedventures.com
don't be intimidated if you've never been on a track or to a HPDE before, this is the perfect time to go with some friends who can give you tips/pointers etc....... there is also a class in the AM before first run group & they go over everything there just in case (Passing, Flags, general rules & what to watch out for)
Streets of willow is a great place for beginners as it is primarily a low speed track & there is lots of runoff area. if you want to have in-car instruction, redline offers that as well & its a steal at only 40$
we will be bringing one of those pop up canopies & a BBQ so we can cook some good stuff at the track for lunch & not have to drive down to the taco smell.
there are three run groups (beginner, intermediate,advanced) & chances are we wont all be in the same group so if anyone wants to tag along just for fun or to be a passenger your more than welcome & wont have to worry about standing on the sidelines bored as there will always be someone around or something to do
So far the list is

Everything went wrong last night. 3rd gear didnt want to go in, and my trap speeds were 4-5 mph slower than last time.
I didn't finish the Mellon Tune, because I changed my opionion on that, and want a real, no bull**** dyno tune, with a WB JUST FOR MY CAR.
I would have no choice but to say that it was the difference in tunes, as nothing else has been changed on the car since the last time I raced.
I went ahead and put your tune back in...So far it's the best Alan
Got any opinions on what may have happened though? Also, I think it may have just been a traction issue, but as soon as I launched, RPMs would hang around redline. It almost felt like the clutch was slipping, but I tested it on the freeway in 5th gear at about 20MPH and it grabbed like new
