Jason / Bill,

I heard back from Donna @ PR.

Mark, we are approaching 3/4 full but could accommodate 5 more people.
I would try and get registered by the end of this week. This course after the 4th of July is ALWAYS full...going into the NW summer months.
Sincerely,
Donna

So, does July 5th or Aug 2nd look better for you guys? I would like to buy rear tires, so Aug 2nd might be better for me. But I think burbman is going on the 5th so if we are going then, we should decide now. Let me know what y'all think.....

I think August 2nd would work best for me as well... I could probably get a 35mm front sway bar from Strano by July 5th, but no way I could get tires... don't got the $700+ needed for that right at the moment. But I will have both items by the middle of July...

However, if the two of you want to go on July 5th, then that could work for me as well... just no new tires. Oh, and Crisisman will be going on Aug. 2nd, so we'd have at least 1 GTO to play with if we miss July 5th with Burbman.

If you go for August then it would be great incentive to get the car back up and screaming...er...running.

My cousin is part of the Alpha Romeo group and they do a couple of these runs a year - may have to hit him up for some pointers

August 2nd works great for me. I need to get my ORR alignment specs OUT of my car anyway

Open tracking specs look like this
0* toe
-1.5* camber
4.5* caster

Oh gee, I THINK I could suffer with those. Are you renting them out?

I was thinking I'd buy some Toyos to match the front street tires & mount them on my spare 9" ZR1s. Knowing Bill, he'll be borrowing Boyce's ORR slicks.

I'll just be getting some street tires... most likely the Firehawk Wide Ovals in OEM Z06 size.

I'll just be running on my F1's, as much as the drag racers dislike them they work VERY well on a road course AND for ORR too .

I got F1 Supercars right now, but they've just about had it... treadwear is getting real low. Replacing with the Firehawks since they're pretty damn inexpensive for a tire that size.

I'm going on August 1st with the NW Z Car Club. They reserved my slot a couple months ago, otherwise I'd have spoken up earlier.
