Well that includes instruction and classroom sessions, but you really can’t beat the SCCA TNIA for $149. Not as much seat time as these others, but definitely worth it. I honestly don’t think there is a cheap way to get on Limerock though. I recall events like these costing $1000/day in the past.

Sorry Chris, Still too much. If I want an instructor at Sebring it's 100 more. Not sure why LMR is so expensive.

At my track back home we do track as well for 140 as well. I agree it's the best deal.

I checked NASA as well, you won’t get on LRP for less than $300/day.

I wonder what the big deal is with LRP? Not exactly a premium track.

Well it’s a fast track for starters. They have limited times the track is open because of their no Sundays BS. Thompson, Palmer, New Hampshire can all be configured to slow you down. But honestly I don’t know. I’m hoping TNIA will eventually run an event there. They keep the prices low because of the sponsors.

So i was getting ready to head to the Rolex 24 yesterday morning and went to start the car, got a huge racket from the heater fan inside. Pulled out the fan assembly and found this guy. Fortunately no damage to the fan blades.

You had 24 hrs to make repairs? Did you get to Daytona?

It was very easy to remove the fan assembly. 3 screws in the passenger footwell.

I made it to Daytona but had to leave early due to my knee. Could not use the bike on race day.

Michelins. Already had a tread separation this winter. Not fun.

I got to have the fun of replacing plugs and ignition coils on the rav4 last night. Had a misfire in cylinder #5 which could have been just a plug issue but the code was saying it was a faulty ignition coil so while I had it apart, figured why not just do it all rather than putting it all back together with one new coil. Matching set should be better. Still was cheap to do and got some good power back!

Nice, I love an easy fix.

Went to a meet at the Ace Cafe in Orlando with the Orlando Roadsters group. Quite the mix of modded Miatas, drift, track, lowered and stock. The Ace Cafe is modeled after the old British racer cafes.

That’s cool Bruce, wish we had something like that up here!

Quite a find Bruce, thankfully it didnt cause any major damage. Nice little meet there too.

Nice Mark, have fun!

Picked up a car for the boychild. Shes an 08 3 s GT. Weekend has started out good for him, if the Pats win tomorrow night it will be the best weekend ever. Lol

Can't believe I missed this post. I'm super excited to go racing again. There's 2 weeks to go, and all I have to do is dust the car off and put a few gallons of fuel in the tank. I don't know what to do with myself! (rlaugh)
