LMFAO, Derty you KNOW these guys BYOB. They ain't gonna risk it. They even map the nearest store to the track that sells beer to make sure THEY are stocked for the weekend, just in case a story telling session pops up.

You havent been to State Capitol lately I guess. The track has been redone, the guardrails are now concrete and the pits have been updated. On testing my customers cars we have seen less than .300s difference between the tracks in ETs.
