Oooh I'd love to but I have to fix my [radiator | tire | brake | steering | engine | trans] (Please select one.)


Tell you what, if you plan to run, I'll do it also. Never hurts to plan way ahead. Make sure to pay so that you're committed and can't get your money back. Plus their prices can go up a little leading into the event as spots fill up.

Tax Return!!!

Lemme ask you this, When you made that film of the time you ran out there, you didn't run the Roval. I was watching and I noticed that you never really got into 4th.

I know the Roval will get us into fourth and for me O/D. If I cannot find this (now very small) vibration...it'll be hairy heading into turn one.

You'll be at 105-110 at best, so yeah, make sure that's not an issue on an empty highway somewhere.

Here's the vid. Sucks as I didn't get a single full clean lap in, and well it was my first day anyways. It's been a long time since I watched it, terrible driving! But it'll give you an idea on the layout and you can see my shift light.

Hummm, a hell of a lot better than about a 100 of the first time guys I've been in the car with. Way better than the guy in the caddy throwing it around like a gokart.

Oh I've watched that Vid over and over again.

The only thing is that it doesn't have the Roval part in it

Dude, that IS the roval video. I just uploaded it yesterday you crackpot. It's just clips spliced together.

I have a longer version actually. I'll upload that in a bit. The file is massive because it has a higher bitrate.
