sounds good.

today i noticed one of my plastic valve stem caps on my tires was cracked, so i replaced all of them with metal ones, bought some of the 3M bright green automotive tape and am going to tape off the sections that rocks would most likely hit, got a new tire pressure gauge to take with me (lost my other one), torqued the lug nuts to 100 up from 90, set all of the tires at 35 psi (wasn't really sure what to set them to...), and bled my brakes and put in some NAPA DOT 4 brake fluid. i just feel like i'm forgetting something...

houstonnw, i think one of the guys driving tomorrow is going to lend me his SLR to snap a few pics of him through the S since i'm working turn 10, i'll try to get a few of you if you want.

It sounds like you're set. I take my valve stem caps off at the track so I can check the tire pressure hot as soon as I get off the track.

Thanks for the picture offer but I changed to Sunday also. See you there!

On a brake happy track if you forget to turn off the TCS you will be buying new pads on Sunday...trust me...this is from personal experience...

lol, i'll be sure to put a sticky note on my steering wheel to turn off TCS.

EDIT: forgot, while i was bleeding the brakes, i checked out the pads and it looks like i have a crap load of life on them, so i think i'll be fine for the one day. i do need to upgrade eventually.

Interesting idea. If I don't have a seat by Spring, I'm going to give it a try. Maybe have a piece for the seat back too. I get tired of having to squirm back into position after long corners, even with the CGLocks (I have the "cloth" seats, not leather).

Tex - Sunday has been and gone. How about an update, how did it go?

it was absolutely awesome. most fun i've ever had. i was going to wait and do a write-up laer today because i had one of my friends come out with his SLR and take some good pics. i'm gonna go by and pic them up on a disc in a little bit and then i'll do my report.
