Looks like a good plan for season. +1 on the here's to summer and being envious. I'm fortunate to have a brother who is a Porsche Owners Club instructor so all he costs me is his turn in the car. edit - I just realized the Road America is Elkhart Lake - now I am more envious - I was there a couple of years ago as a spectator for a vintage race.

What run group? I didn't have my car ready and thus couldn't make that event. You certainly had nice weather. I drove Lightning last summer, nice little track. How you like that "Lightbulb" turn?

Yep - my "Track" car has a vibration in the drive train we are trying to figure out. Also I've been putting all the usual track upgrades on it: SS lines, brake ducts, fluids, lt wght exhaust system, fire extinguisher, pads, etc.

I'm driving the Mustang mostly. If I don't get "Vader" ready by April 18th the Mustang is going back on the track - signed up for Pocono.

I'm coming out of hibernation with severe spring fever...

I've got some American Racing headers and Prothane motor mounts to install this year. My season is looking like this:

Gingerman Raceway 4-25
Grattan Raceway 5-19
Waterford Hills 6-12
Grattan Raceway 7-25 & 26 (clockwise one day counter clockwise the next)
Calabogie Motorsports Park 8-29 & 30 (Sleeper, I’ll send you a PM when pricing comes out if you’re interested. We had a significant discount over the normal prices last year. Plus our club allows passengers)
Nelson Ledges 10-3 & 4 (24 hours of LeMONS in a Dodge Neon)
Gingerman Raceway 10-17 (if I have any energy left)

Here's to the new year!

My spring fever is also really bad this week especially after;
- going to Sam's to pick up my new FAYS2 Watt's,UMI LCAs and Stranopart front sway bar links
- receiving my new MaxQData Quantum data logger and video system
- getting the summer KDWs installed

Yes I would be interested in Calobogie. My brother and I have talked about going up there with my car and right now I have nothing scheduled for August. Thanks.

PS - how are you finding the EBC Yellowstuff pads? - I'm switching to them this season.

Hope you get it running soon. It should be a blast on the track.
