No test & tune scheduled as of yet.... just a bunch of rumors so far. I hope they start it soon, but I'm betting it won't happen until next year.

If you do make your way down to ZMax (when/if it opens to the public) I'd love to check out your car. Looks fantastic and has run some nice times so far! My Hawk is actually at Speed Inc. now for a similar setup to yours. Depending on when you picked yours up you might have noticed it --- its the lonely black pile sitting on a lift waiting for a motor

I did see your car when I drove up there...next to mine...I told Jim I had never seen two Hawks at the same time before. Nice ride.

I'd like to get a sea level run some time and Charlotte is the closest good track to me....3.5hours....I'd like to run there if they open it up before the year ends.

I heard that they'll open in the next few weeks but I'm not holding my breathe. When they do open I'll be happy to give both of you a run.

Yes, my Hawk has been there since March waiting on ETP and Jesel - now T&D. What a nightmare. Mine is mostly a street car (6 speed) so there won't be any crazy times posted with it. What part of Virginia are you from?
