I want to go, guess not being on the forum for the past two months has cost me entry into this exclusive event.

Bummer for me, but my GT will be in a calendar, I hope :biggrin

Had a family crisis and been really busy with work.

If they can squeeze me in for the Indy thing, and you're flying up I'd like to book passage :biggrin

I will be flying up and leaving the GT at home unless it works out that we can get a parade lap. Otherwise, it doesn't sound like very exciting driving to and from the hotel and track and probably is not worth the effort/miles.

If I fly, you are more than welcome to ride with me. If we get the lap I will be trailering up.

I sure hope everything is alright with your family.

Cool, I hope to fly up with FLChris and bring a friend if possible.

Chris, If you fly my friend and me I'll pay to trailer your GT again.

What's with 1418, not going?

Oh, and we need banners for the GT and Indy drivers to sign, I'm all over that :biggrin

The big question is how to get some long island iced teas in the infield. :banana

Woo Hoo. I could take a cooler, but then I'd have no passenger :biggrin

We could make a whole lotta Bar-B-Que, slow roasted over a GT, and fry eggs and bacon on the exhaust for Breakfast.

Maybe I need to get off the forum and go have dinner. :willy

SuperB, please explain to your wife about the 21 essential amino acids, some of which are only found in red meat.

Man, I need new tires soon.
I did a 180 today at a busy intersection.
Didn't hurt anything, other than my pride.

Worst part was that due to the turning radius, it took 5 minutes to get turned back around. Everybody was real nice though, they honked their horns to the turn of jingle bells. :cheers

I learned almost the same lesson the other day about winter temps and cold tires. Traction is almost non-existent when you first take off. I bumped my rev limiter waiting for the tires to hook up. This much power and hard tires don't mix. :eek

Cold Temp Tire Traction

I have been playing around with the cold temp and tire traction too. It is kind of fun to bury the gas pedal in second gear and then the car kind of lifts up and starts to slide to the left. You have to get out of it quickly or you could end up in a nasty situation very quickly! :willy

For Non Texans cold temp means less than 75 deg.
