We normally do a 5 mile lap around a local reseovr. Pretty easy going. Trails over rocks, but no major obsticles. I haven't gone yet this year. I'm getting fat.

Yeah, Eric w/the 03 Cobra is going. Last time he blew a tire from something on the track. Good excuse to get the Nitto 555R extreem road race tires he bought. Not sure if I want to try it.

I'd hate to pick up something in a tire like Eric did. I might try an actual track, but the tarmac at an AFB? He got some kind of hollow steel tube that went right through the tire and it went flat immediatly.

Too late to go now. I just got back from taking my son fishing. The Auto-X event was tempting, but I would have had to get up too early.
