***Wow . . . I have all new respect for the Evos after attending last weekends SCCA races at the 'Hill. That Evo (running in ITX class) kicked EVERYBODY's butt, with lots of space behind him before you saw the second place car. It was silver and said "Muellerized" and the rear. Very fast car and VERY good driver. I was absolutely impressed!

As far as water . . . you can bring some if you would like to, but T.E.A.M. supplies more than enough bottled water and Gatorade. We supply the goodies so you don't have to. There will also be snacks and lunches provided.

I will be there. Get my car from the body shop tomorrow.
Gotta do a final stipping of the interior, remove the bolt in cage, and prep it for a weld in cage. Afterwards, she gets some new paint and some other goodies.

***Wow, sounds like your gearing-up to turn your car into a racecar! Congrats!!! I wish I had a weld-in cage . . . mine is the bolt in kind, so 1.75" tubing. I know it's not much, but having 1.5" tubing as is allowed with the weld-ins sure would make my little car have more room. And new paint??? WOW -- your car is very lucky. So do you have a racing license yet? Or do you plan to go to a licensing school? Racing is a ton of fun, like no other experience you've had so far. I hope to see you soon!

this is the best way to get track experience. just ask for an instructor and go at your own pace. its not a race.

***Correct. Just indicate your size on your registration form and I will call Thunderhill's track office and reserve one for you. You give them your 25 bucks and your driver's license at the SCCA office that is to your right past the gas pumps where you check in and get your track credentials (a plastic bracelet thingee).
