You have seen the car I'd be bringing, correct? You've also seen the trunk attached to car, correct? Now how in the world could I fit a floorjack in there when there's already going to be a cooler full of beer?

If it fits, I'll bring it.

Wait. You're only bringing ONE extra axle? How about a spare power steering pump? I've heard of those cracking at the track too. Oh wait....

Lol yea, if I break one I'm not going to run again afterwards. If I break two at the same time then that would deserve a framed picture to go up on my wall! Haha a spare ps pump wouldn't have helped me, I would have needed a timing case cover too. So basically pull the motor out. Sure, I coudl do that on the ground at the track in a couple hours

I was informed that MIR announced the track rental over the weekend at one of the events and was going to charge $10 for spectators. I obviously didn't like that, especially since I was never told about this and had never had a spectator fee at any of my previous track rentals (many). So I talked to them and unfortunately I was told it was true and they wouldn't change their mind about it. Their concern is people staying for the night event and not paying entry fee even though I dont think that has ever happened at any of our rentals. So after negotiating here is what we came up with. Spectators pay $10 when they enter the track but as long as you leave before 6 you get your $10 back. Sorry, I tried.

Yea I'm tryin my best. They keep changing the forecast, looks good now I wish I could control the weather! I am keeping a close eye on the forecast, try to do the same. Hopefully all the positive energy will make the rain go away

Yea it is warmer than I'd like but the turnout looks amazing. Probably the biggest turnout I've ever had at a rental. Hopefully we get cooler air next time
