Nice pics man.. I talked to Mike Maier about it yesterday.. guess I missed out.. but my bachelor party took priority.. but will be there next season.. suspension is almost finished and should give me plenty of time to get my tire and wheel combo for the track.

Becca, what do you know about the SCCA event @ Golden Gate Fields on 9/7/08? Can anyone join this event or do you have to be a SCCA member? I have a few more guys that want in on the fun so we're trying to hit this one up.
Let me know if you know how this one works.
Thanks!
You do have to be an SCCA member for any SCCA event. I'm not sure about the SFR region, but I know the Fresno region allows you to buy a weekend membership. If not, its $85 a year. They give 3 runs and have a computer system that's pretty neat, you stick a label on your car/helmet and they scan it at the start.

Hey, I'm glad you still had fun! Don't worry, the best mod is the driver mod haha. Just get more seat time. Even go-karting helps a bit to get a feel for turns. I feel you on not trusting brakes, mine are crap. Can't wait to start putting on parts now that the season is over.
I was driving the silver 91 GT. I ran 1st on Saturday and 2nd on Sunday with a best of 63.2. Next time you're out at AAS, find me and I'd be happy to show you some pointers!

make sure you get out to one of the AA-X events at Castle Airport, I've hit ~100-110mph on that layout before, sometimes they just make a ridiculous straight away that goes diagonally across the tarmac, it's so fun to hit the rev limiter in 3rd then nail the brakes for a 90* ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
Hmmmm you're out of the loop, my friend. We lost the huge tarmac location at Castle before the season started this year. The one they were racing on does NOT support such speeds because it is too small and, unfortunately, Alameda has a top speed limit of 65. At least Alameda supports a course longer than 25-35 seconds (what the new Castle one gets).
BUT, GREAT NEWS!! Alameda will be AAS's home for next season! Look forward to more great long, wide, fun courses! ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
On another note, for all those interested in Autocrossing, I highly recommend the site www.baautox.com (Bay Area Autocross). Very newbie friendly and a ton of autocross information about the Bay Area regional groups.
