I just finished up the Speedtech stuff and have the new Rushforth from Jon on the car. Needs an alignment then it's ready to try and get some baseline #'s on the car before the next set of mods.
Roger, when I do make it out there, I would really like to come by your shop and get some tips on my Extreme Drag Radial car--you know, the kind you give to your golden boy (Holder) who always wins.
I hope I don't enjoy these open track days more than heads up stuff--I hope it's a push---or Visa/MC will be forced to be my sponsors.

Yeah I'm horrible about doing these things last minute lately... I'll try and give some notice next time. It never seems like I can get people out there. Its probably my short notice every time.
My first track day I took my car out with stock leafs, rear shocks, rear drums no subframe connectors, a bad coil, no g mod and still had a great time. You can actually hear the motor cutting out over 4k RPM and at WOT on the straights. It took some dyno time to figure out the coil was the cause...
I came home with a list of things I needed to improve, and each time I go out, I come home with a new list. This time I'm going out just for fun, and to take out some aggression on the track. I need to rework my steering and add a proportion valve, but its not stopping me from going out.
I also enjoy all the great people I meet at the track as well. Such a friendly fun group. If you are concerned about getting hooked, you should be, its an absolute blast!
