It will be closer for both of you. I don't believe anybody will leave this track disappointed.

So, since I have Toyo RA1s I guess I will be buying new tires.

No disappointment here. I can't wait to drive on that track. Should be one of life's highlights.

DSE is calling everyone that was registered already and yes we are on the list for the new event. May need to re-confirm but no chance of losing our spots.

Thanks Brian. I assumed that would be the case.

Well I just signed up....

Road America is awesome. I ran it in One Lap of America in 1994 in the White car. Scared the crap out of me. When I made the 4 -5 shift at 130 MPH I knew I was moving.

Since then I learned a few things and logged a few track miles. My new car should be fast there. All I have to do now is pry it out of Joe and Paul VanNus’s hands and put it together. It is all painted and we are putting the chassis under it this weekend. It should be back at my shop by Feb. 14 (My girlfriend is trilled )

The engine should be done Feb 14 also. So I should be very busy the next couple months. But this car was built for Road America not autocrossing at Walmart. Lol

We should crush 150 MPH on the front and back straight.

If all goes right we will be there. Now what tires to use?
