Default Next Track Day? Who, Where and When?

Slowhawk's crew... when are you guys planning to go? I haven't heard of much activity this season?

Don?
Keith?
Marcel?
Mike?
Brent?
Joe?
Matt?
Dave?
Gary... out for a while right?

and anyone else I am missing sorry...

I am hoping to take work off next Friday evening, August 3rd Weather permitting for a Friday street night.. maybe get some cooler air and of course seat time! I had the car out this morning in some cooler air and it felt like it was pulling harder, weird because I figured the meth was helping that out all along.
Anyhow, I started practicing 1/2-3/4 throttle powershifts on street tires... jeesh I can see this GTO will really be hating on me next track day if I powershift hard. I can tell that the IRS, DS and possibly transmission will want to take a dump!! This could get really expensive, really fast!! LoL

Slowhawk- I guess I would rather hear an excuse then nothing at all or not seeing anyone there. I mean it's a good time going with a couple friends and the g/f but to be there with the whole crew or more of the crew, it just makes it that much better of a day, for support, advice, information and incase of a shitty day!

I guess this is a slight attempt to get a rental crew together.. see who shows interest for the dry run... to see if it's worth putting it together later!

badpewter-z - I hear you on the cooler weather, but seat time can be had in the warmer weather too! Some of us need as much seat time as we can get! Besides street nights and T&T's are cheaper than the going rate for Rentals these days!

Sure why not, it's only for a short race up the 1320! A small shot of cheater gas never hurt!
