Default Lapping day openings

Still a couple of openings for Sept 6 for you lappers. I have complete new pads, stainless braided lines and fluid flush that is a major difference. Will be checking to see how much time I can shave off with these plus playing with the tire pressure. I hope to pic up 2sec by the end of the day. Previous best on camera was a 1:48 lap with consistent 1:49-1:50 laps. Anything better is icing on the cake for me.

I would love to go, but I have to start watching money Hopefully next year I can make it out at least one lapping day though.

We're building a house, and if for some reason we don't sell this one before we move we'll have to cover 2 house payments

I really should have thought of this reality before I ordered my exhaust, but I didn't. But all other vehicular plans have been put on temporary hold (mainly pickup fixes/repair/hotrodding).

Hope you made the purchase contingent on the sale of your home.

ha ha, that's funny. No, we're not "purchasing" a house. Custom build, we're financing it (through the bank). We build it, we buy it.
