I'll probably be working this event if i don't have a ski race that weekend. I wish i could drive, but i doubt i'll get my car back by then.

added a list of drivers/workers to the original post. correct me if I'm wrong or make a post if you need to be added or have something changed. this will help us out in picking grid space when we get there. I'm ariving Friday am.

Jess will be working - probably grid. Speaking of grid space, I'll probably be towing the Z down there, so leave room for the Lightning too
We'll be there probably mid-afternoon on Friday. I haven't decided if I'll try to work a half-day or just take the whole day off to prepare - it's only a two-ish hour drive so it won't be too bad...

thanks Chad.
Laura put me into group 2, but I emailed her and asked to be put back in 1 since I haven't driven at VIR and this will only be my 3rd event. Maybe after this one I'll be ready for group 3.

i'm figuring out my finances before committing... need a new set of 15x7 wheels and to figure out my braking situation... whether i stick with the stock civic fronts and toss another $100 at new pads, or i try to piece together an integra setup, which would require more labor that i don't want to do in the cold.

The sign in the picture says "Comfort Inn". Is that the right place? If so I need to change my reservation...

Ok I changed it, but maybe you should try group 2 before jumping into group 3

i don't have any brake pads left dummy. running what i've got would be $100 in pads that i might only use once.

nah, might as well just plop the dough on some xp8s, i wasn't too pleased with the 9s, especially after the one pad broke in half...

have before, ain't no thang. evan, it isn't a miata. i'd rather spend the extra few bucks (over ultiamtes) and get the xp8s.

i'll help you swap over those st00pid integra brakes if you want, its freakishly nice outside lately..
and i got the bligny harborfreight impact now
- Mike - 01-06-2005
i work all day... dark by the time i come home, and i'm busy this weekend. i doubt the weather is going to remain like this. besides, i don't have all the integra parts. need hubs, and some other crap.
