It is bro, not that I am saying I can take your car with mine but the boat would try. I just don't think I can have the car the way I want it by then. You know, the wife has to release the funds
Seriously, though I may try to rent a car in SD and bring that. I sent a request but haven't heard back and do not want a Lotus Exige. If I can get a faster car, I will join.

Glad to hear it, I am going to try to shorten my learning curve by riding b!tch in my own car while Brad shows me the quick way around the track. I want to try to shorten my learning curve as much as possible, any pointers that are Black Series specific for this track would be greatly appreciated, seems like you have the most seat time of anyone in a Black Series. I hope to be able to pick things up quick enough to where I can go out an run somewhat competitively enough with some of you faster guys by the end of the day. Two things I don't want to do, crash while trying to keep up with you guys or get in your way. Who's quicker around the track, you or Brad, maybe I need to ride b!tch with you too.

I have yet to purchace a set.. I am 95% sure I will go with DYMAG in 19's If the are at least as light as my HRE C21's. My car has won shows for looks and has been filmed by the SPEED channel last year but now it's time for a change. I want to turn it race looking.. DYMAGS, CF lip, CF spioler and CF rear defuser.. Hey, Sounds like the first CLS BS.. .. I think with the new BREMBOS and DYMAGS the car should perform better

I'm still trying to find the best line myself. Your welcome to come aboard and I'll give you my take. Funny, I saw a video of a GT-R with the worst line ever and the guy still managed a 1:32!
