Tons of fun. (The fieros broke a few times but did pretty well!!)

Jdtodd participates in those and says the same thing. He says they are a blast and you get tons of track time.

Also, a good friend of mine did the 1 lap of America and he said his new favorite track is High Plains. He said it was a lot of fun, both fast and technical.

Check 1.20:30 for some sweet (admittedly unintentional) fiero drifting and the end for some less sweet hub failure...

Ask around. They are happening all over the country all summer. Some of the teams always seem to need an extra driver or two and for a couple hundred bucks you can usually buy your way in to the team. It takes about 4-6 guys to comfortably run a 24 and invariably someone drops out at the last minute.

If you’ve done some track days that is usually all the experience you need.

That’s how I got on my teams...

Z1 shipped my short block today! I really hope it is built correctly this time. (Not too lose or tight that it will quickly self destruct).

Wish me luck. I’m hoping this 3rd build up will be the charm.

Stand by for MORE dyno results and an assessment of how “smooth?” It is.

I really miss my Z. Can’t wait to have it back up and running.
