Yes, me & the SO are going. Not sure yet if we'll go both Sat/Sun or just one of the days.

I'll be there Saturday with my pops. I'm not driving so I'll be there to lend a wrench if needed.

I would love to go, however prior commitments keep me away...

I especially want to go after the changes I did to my car.., V2 arms and more neg camber front and back, as well as brand new A048's and HT10's. Past weekend at main Willow the car was amazing.

Are you doing Buttonwillow at all in OCT? Quite a few clubs are running I am am going to try to be there for at least one weekend event. Caravan would be nice. We just need to rent a dual tandem trailer...

If my wife lets me, I'll try to get out for one day. Maybe Saturday seeing that's what everyone seems to be shooting for. Last time was sooo much fun! Hopefully it will be a bit cooler this time.

I ran HPDE and don't have a transponder so not sure. However I can pretty much tell you I was off pace considering my second track day after 12 years..
BTW what is a decent time for a NA car at Big Willow?

Finishing car, will try and make it out Sat. but heard that you can only get garage space if you are a member of POC. I do own one, hehe, but I don't think that will cut it. Did you guys have to pay POC in advance for your garage space?

It's the Pro Sport Endurance series, final event of the season. Friday & Sunday are open lapping days though. $ depends on what kind of kart, you can rent 125 shifter, 125 TAG, 4-stroke.

I heard POC was renting out garages for $50/day and that was the only way to get them, as POC member. Dammit, we own two P's - doesn't that count for something?? Also I just heard that they dropped the prices for non-POC drivers...I guess it all evens out. Will PM you my # so you can enlighten me on the garage situation. Thanks!
