Default You all should have been at LVD today!

I got 19 f*cking runs in for a regular test and tune! I actually had to leave to get more gas halfway through. The place was empty. Several times I got back to the staging lines after just making a pass and before I could even put it park I was being waved to go.

Forgot about it. If I had rememberd I would have gone, but then again, if I had known how many runs I'd get in at the valley I probably would have blown C/F day off. I really needed the practice (.4 reaction times aren't respectable). I'll do my best to be there next year though.

I've gone, been at the gate, and had them send us home. I also went one morning after rain at night. Sunny in the morning, clear skies, water was drying up, and they didn't even bother to show up to open the track.

Its cool they were that empty, though with 92 degree humid air and constant threat of storms, just not worth it to me to drive up and run shitty or get sent home.

Yea, unless your working on launching or suspension techniques, june, july and august are pretty much worthless to be going for best new times, unless the car is brand new and you just want to see how it does.

My car isnt going back until I get a decent aftermarket clutch, ive seen 1st hand, bad clutches doing worse damage to the inside of the tranny. I have no will to be rebuilding my tranny this year.
