You have to make it!!! It will be a blast. Just a few of us to push ourselves to lower our laptimes. I'm shooting for 1:56-1:57. I think that's the best I can hope for the way my car is right now.

Gonna try to my hardest to make this one guys....does anyone know how hot it's gonna be?...looks like 90 deg....

Temps say low 90's. It'll be warm for sure. But that's why I have a garage. Best lap times are going to come before noon. I was there two weekends ago and lap times dropped by 1-2 seconds after lunch. Its still worth it though. MAKE IT HAPPEN EDDIE!!!!

Yea, the heat def. brings some times down....I was at SOW last wknd for the LCS, and we were running CCW....I could do 1.25.4 in the am, but only 1.26's in the afternoon...

It's not too late to sign up!!!!

It looks like I may only be there Sunday. We have family in town and I might have to spend Saturday with the family. I would rather be at the track, lol. Only doing autocross this time. I chew through tires and I want these to last till November (new tires for the West Coast Lotus Meet) but I'll be at Streets on Labor Day!

Can't make it sun morning, but I think I'll swing by in the afternoon to hang out, and maybe buy a session from Aaron....

That's cool Eddie. It would be great to see you out there anyway. And maybe if we could run a couple sessions, it would still be fun. Plus, Sunday afternoons the crowds start to thin so I'm sure Aaron will let you work your way in.

At Buttonwillow? You betcha!

ZJChaser · 08-15-2009, 08:43 PM

God its nice that the track is so close...like when you realize your brake problem you thought you fixed wasnt fixed on the first runs...you can head home, grab new rotors, come back and be back out by lunch full tilt...awwww. Damn header seperated again so I'll be back at the track early trying to get it fixed again before the first session.

See you all tomorrow, it was lonely being the only lotus on track today.
