I'll probably be racing but I'll still have my camera. My only concern is the weather report...

He posted a little while back how loose the back end gets when traction control is off on the crappy RSA tires. I don't blame him.

+ the Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires sure don't inspire confidence.

Yup, I am scared of messing up my ride.

535 mile flatbed tow won't be a good thing to get home.

& parts on the slow boat from Australia would suck; as GM almost doesn't have any parts stocked.
Like I called around to Pontiac dealers here for a spare key to be made for my glove box.
Nearest dealer that had one was 30 miles away.
& the GM database warehouse said none are in the country, for special ordering.
Heard of others needing an alternator, & there were like 2 in the US.

Reminds me of this Rolls Royce that was sitting around in a shop for the better part of 2+months waiting for the slow boat to ship a part from Australia.

well I will still be waiting for people to show just in case... but I am pretty sure the track will not be open.

If we can get our hands on some extra xbox 360 controllers and everyone that shows wants to come to my house I have Need for Speed Pro Street so we can do some indoor racing...

I have the turbo alero here too for those who want an in person look at it

hourly forecast is showing everything being fine at 1pm tomorrow... might clear up sooner with any luck.

lone_wolf025 · 08-07-2009, 09:57 AM

I'll be around of course.

lvemy3100 · 08-07-2009, 10:08 AM

probably since you are already here...

lone_wolf025 · 08-07-2009, 10:11 AM

. Nah I got here cuz the plan was I'd help Mark setup stuff and we had thought to detail the car but the weather changed from the other day.
