Default Motorsport Ranch

Did any of you guys decide to make it out to the Jan. one?
Anyone know which way we will likely be running.. clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Also, where is the start line?

I have the map printed out and would like to get familiar with it as much as I can.

most likely will be counter clockwise. Start/Finish is just before pit entry and the "S's" of RATTLESNAKE.

also, there will be a moderate size F-body group out there (3-4) from the DFW area. i'll be there, but only to watch and bum rides.

I am really looking forward to this event.

Have the butterflies set in yet Nick? <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

What kind of front brake pads and brake fluid are you running?

Check this out.. I ordered and paid for Panther's, but got Panther Plus, not a bad deal. I'll be using Autozone rotors (blanks). I got some SRF from Mitch at the tft gtg.
Also, I have Earl's stainless lines I'll be putting on... I need some feedback. Is there anything I should know about changing the lines? Precautions, extra steps.. anything.

All this shouldn't take very long, and I'll be putting everything but the pads on, this Sunday. I was thinking to put the pads in the following Sunday and leave them in for the week for bedding purposes... what do you guys think?

And hey, if anyone wants to help that'd be great too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Chuck, are you planning on attending the Evo school?

Sounds like you have everything under control. I was going to attend the Evo school, but tuition is hitting the budget a little harder than expected and I don't think I am going to be able to attend the Evo school.
