Yes, I'm registering today for T-Hill. Going to do the school. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something?

No doubt you'll learn many things

T-hill was my first track that I went to and I learned a ton just in that one day. Is this going to be your first time out??
Post a pic of your track beast! I've seen so many of your posts on corral but never saw an actual pic of it. From the sound of it, it must be pretty hooked up ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Yeah, first track outing where I'll be driving. I've riden shotgun too many times to count, and I've been itching to do this for over a year but something ALWAYS got in the way. Weather, finances, lady drama, etc; but I'm eating ramen for 2 weeks so there will be no legitimate reason to bail this time around.
*NCRC Registration is paid
*Trailer's reserved (I wish I never sold my 24' enclosed)
*Car's mostly ready - just a few odds and ends to button up - then I'll go through the tech checklist
My next payday falls on the day of the event, so I'll pay for diesel and unleaded the day of the event. Am I missing anything? W00t, I'm stoked!
I'll see about pics later.

Sounds like you're ready to me! One thing you are forgetting though...GoPro! Get one and record the madness! I always enjoy watching how bad my driving is after each event so I can have something to work on at my next outing.
Does NCRC provide ride-along instructors for beginners? That'd definitely help so you can learn the line and they can point out what you're doing good/bad.
One last thing...post those pics!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Are you running MM parts or Griggs?

Borrowing a buddy's Go-Pro (money's tight right now), so I'll definitely be able to point and laugh...
They have one instructor per every 5~ students. I think we'll have 3 runs before lunch, so maybe the worst of the bunch get "personal attention" ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Maximum - Coilovers, control arms front and rear, PHB, subframes - blah blah...

I'd be out with you guys but my passenger rear shock started to develop a leak and die and I'm awaiting a replacement....

Yep, Maier 1.5" flares, and a 99+ stick axle to fill the void, (3" wider than Fox). Car should haul ass, even though I'm pushing a stock 160K mile 302. It stops better than it goes thanks to those Brembos and Hawk Blues. Car stops AMAZING!
Don't be a woman BizKit, order the shock and come play! Don't let something like that stop you.

You should come out to NASA at infineon the day after NCRC! I'll be there along with a couple other Cafords guys! I'd love to get on track with you and see how I can hold up against your beast!
Is your interior caged and fully gutted? I'd love to own a notchback track toy one day!

Gutted yes, caged no. Just a harness bar for now. I would love to get a cage installed, and I've been in talks with a great builder in the area and it's going to cost about $4k for an AI-legal cage.
I purchased this car out of Oakland about 3 years ago and it's been a work in progress ever since. I've driven it a lot on the street, but now it's time to see what it'll do.
There's no way I can do 2 track days back-to-back. I definitely want to hit up Infineon and Buttonwillow and T-Hill at least once each before year end.
We'll eventually run into eachother.

The Car looks great, I can't wait to get my car in "tech passable" condition to come run and hang out with you guys.

Your car should pass tech unless something has changed.

The car has developed a very noticeable lean like a 600lb fat man is in the passenger seat so either a shock is blown or something's broken. Plus I'm having starting issues which was finally tracked down to the battery after looking like an issue with the MSD box. Work begins this weekend on diagnosing the "lean" I'm guessing I broke something on the last outing with the car.
