Quick ?, can "non-racers" come and watch, or is the track only limited to those who pay? It would be nice to be a spectator.
Of course spectators are allowed!

Hope to see you there...

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ****

I received some PMs yesterday from people on the list who do NOT want to be on camera or get their rides video taped at the race track (I'm assuming for warranty or legal purposes). Since this is a private event, I have to respect their wishes. So to all of you guys who will be videotaping this event: make sure you talk to me before taking pictures so that I can tell you which cars can NOT be on camera!!!!

To everybody else on the list, if you don't wish to be on camera, please send me a PM as well. If not, then prepare to find your ride(s) on a couple of our low production youtube videos or maybe in a promo for our next event

I was wondering if there's a spot for a new Nissan R35 GTR in their? Please let me know.

Thanks.
I'll put you on the waiting list, we usually get last minute cancellations everytime we do this. Heck, in the past months, I've got 9 people who canceled on the main list (that's one third) and 8 people who canceled from three different waiting lists on three different sites. But we still got it under control

Yeah mine was set at 20 lbs no whine just a shrill high pitched frequency that cutthrough the cabin. Could be the lack of the alancantra liner, seats and leather that made it seem louder than it actually is. Once the parktronic, seats, amps , speakers , command, are out car is similar to my 92 Honda, very loud in here!!! I think were at 3650 now plus the TT should be good

Well............I havent received my "Penske bubble wrap" in the mail yet.
I will be running w/o traction control for sure this time. In my second run last month I yield a better 60' but a slower ET But after really thinking about it, besides that my roll bar was scaring that crap out of me every time I launched, I do remember seeing ESP flashing at me some where before the halfway point on that run for sure. I guess will see if that helps.

Your car loves you too much, it drops the roll bar everytime you go over 70 mph...... it is way over protective We need to find a way to keep that roll bar in place LOL..... did you ever try running in dyno mode?
