MarioC55, 2K6E55 and DragonAMG are you guys going? Also CynCarvin32 and his friend are supposedly waiting to get permission from their Mommies But it looks like a good turnout, we should definitely hook up for dinner/drinks on Sat in Vegas, we can get the specifics figured out at the track.

I will know for sure next Wednesday. I may have to leave town for 2 weeks.

Previous cars:
-97 M3 (240hp)
-00 540i-6spd (282hp)
-03 M5 (394hp)

Now:
-04 350z Roadster (Wife)
-06 E55 Silver (469 hp)

Me:
Car/Computer geek from LA(626) with some track experience
I will check with the hotel and change the reservation if it is still on hold. Price was like $100 a night something real cheap. PM me you name and I will let the hotel know it is ok to change with your info.

I just got online at www.saddlewest.com and made a room reservation for myself also, just in case. I think you can still make reservations if you go to their website, and they only have a 24 hour cancellation policy. It comes out to $238.06 including tax for both nights.

Actually, I was just curious. A little caged bird asked me about it. I don't even play games, especially not car racing ones. The real deal is much funner for me!
Ahhh, now we know who the "Caged Bird" is.

track prep

I am kind of stressing about what needs to be done to my car to be worthy of a few track days. I'm considering changing tires and brake pads. Can I buy Porterfield pads in a storefront or do I have to purchase them online? A link would be appreciated by my laziness. I would really like to purchase pads that can be used daily after the completion of the event. How about brake fluid.

My newbeeness thanks you

Don't stress. If you want new brake pads, go for it, otherwise, you'll be fine with what you have (I'm assuming 06 E55). Same goes for brake fluid, no worries, you'll be fine.

If you want to go overboard, you can change pads and fluid, but it all depends on you. You should be more concerned with tire pressures, and get a good tire pressure guage so we can adjust pressures when you're there.

Yup yup. If it is the '06, I would go get an oil change and have the tech give it a once over. If you need pads, then get em. If not, don't. If you do need pads and are an enthusiast I definitely recommend the Porterfield Street competition. they also have a Track compound, but it wasn't worth all the added noise and dirt for me. You can contact Porterfield Industries direct and they will overnight them to you. It is $500ish for a set for the E55.

Hey Jeff, why you gotta leave town for 2 weeks? Someone after you, bro?

Cyrus: my cousin lives in Vegas and has a 996TT. Do you have more room? He would be interested in becoming a member as well, since he lives there.

Any one bringing spare tires? I am getting mine replaced next week. My rears are shot but I do have tread left on the fronts. Should I keep/bring at least one of the fronts?

Heck, I've got a mounted set of fronts as spares, if we need them. I don't think it'll come to that.

Check out saddlewest.com if you can't reserve there let me know and I will check to see if the extra room is still under my name.

Jangy & AMG_55 what time do you want to leave on Friday.

Call Donna,
We're running the full track, I'm sure she can e-mail you a track layout.
