The track days in so Cal are far and few so if you wanna see what yer car will do this is it..

Bring drinks, some shade and a chair or two , we drank beer last time LOL!

I might want to go But My helmet is out of date. I have a Snell95.

Last time they almost did not let me race. Where in the LA area or west valley can I get a racing helmet?

Thanks a lot juicee, I was at Farmer Boys at 6:15 AM waiting for you. No big deal, not sleeping after Halloween is something I enjoy doing. Farmer's Philly Cheese Steak is pretty good.

Props to Urnext for actually making it out and AMGSC.

Oh and the guy with the black E55 (sorry forgot your name) for staying the whole time from beginning to end. It was nice meeting you guys.

Had a blast!!! Coming back tomorrow after fixing my vacuum leak. Can some of you guys make it at 1pm. I want to race side by side instead with just anybody lined up next to me at the moment. Met some fellow mbworld members (Sticky2 -Joseph with the M3 and Raffie - Vahe with the E55). What do you say all meet at 1-2pm, ask to be in Group 4. It's actually less crowed after lunch since most guys leave before lunch. You can get your maximum six runs in less than 2 hours in the afternoon.

Show up next time I'll go as far as to tell you my best time was very similar to your best time at California Speedway when you were stock with just the lightweight battery.

I can expect you in December right? For sure?
