Thanks! 
I've been running through the list of race requirements, in my attempt to be race ready by April. While I was checking of Goodspeed's new shop, I picked up a set of Nukabe Tow hooks. They're red, and match the red brakes. Borderline rice, but they are required for the track, so they're not for ricer intentions. I have the rear one installed, I'm going to Fabricate a mounting plate so I can run the front tow hook through the fog light cover hole, maybe get another cover and trim a hole in it to fit the front tow hook.

I just picked up the Kartboy endlinks, also got some Redline Water wetter today for when I install the new Radiator. Ordered a new PWR WRX radiator, should be here by Thursday. Going to pick up the side skirts in the morning, gonna have them painted over the weekend. Still waiting for word back about the CF front lip and the Red rear brakes should be done this weekend, then on the way to me shortly there after.

That's the plan. I have to work my way up through the ranks, going to do my first DE-1 event next month. Probably do some serious time attack action next year hopefully, I'm just want to get everything sorted out this year, get some track time, keep it running, and in one piece. I want to make sure that it's 100% before I go ***** out on the track. Just went out to the racing @ PIR this past weekend, and the Dynocomp car caught on fire!

From what I've gathered, you work your way through the brackets, DE (drivers education) 1-4, then you can test for your racing lic. I'm not 100% sure on that one, I'm gonna talk to some more people at the track and find out, when I know, you'll know!

lol cool, it's got to be expensive as sh*t. seeing as how regular track days are almost $300. it will cost a lot to get the point of actually competing. are you going to try for sponsors eventually?

Thanks, I feel the same way!
Here's a quick clip Justin took on his phone, we were in a spot of traffic, so I couldn't really open it up for more than a second or two. We were cruising at about 75, and I dropped it into 5th.
And here's one of me and Pat's ver. 6 swap at a light. I'll give a break down of what happened, since as you can see, we didn't leave on the green.
We both pulled up, and I said,
"We have to take the next right, follow me."
(pat)"I'll let you in front of me"
"Ha! There's no reason to, 'Let' me in front of you, you have no choice! (joking, being an ***)".........
[Light turns Green]......
And we're still talking trash!
After the truck on the left took off, We realized it was green and took off, But I kinda bogged it off the line, got off the clutch a little too early.
I'm gonna try and get a full on, Launch-controlled video clip soon, Trying to get someone to do the video while I drive.
