As far as ideas, how about a ride to Long Grove, IL.? We can meet perhaps in Schaumburg and then all drive to the Village Tavern for Lunch and Beers? Weather permitting of course.

I wouldn't mind it, ill throw the idea on fb to see what people think

If anyone needs a room for Zdayz hit me up. I'm staying at Nantahala Village and have a reservation. My buddy who was going to head down with me is no longer able to take the trip with me. The room is about 140 bucks per night and I now have an extra bed available. The reservation is Wed - Sat.

Send me a PM if interested in splitting the bill with me!

Things I've learned from this track day:
1. Over-steer is our friend
2. I have more brakes than I have tires
3. An overheated VLSD no longer functions

To remedy this... I am now shopping for a Quaife (geared) diff, instead of the maintenance heavy clutch systems. ...it's also cheaper :tup:

Transponder nearly started an electrical fire. It is no longer with us.

Unfortunately, it took a dump before i could get a replacement mailed. June 9th will be a different story ;-)

Finally got over to Thalmann's for an alignment. Highly recommended. Shop is hard to find but it's clean with an in-ground rack. Unfortunately I lost my gamble so I'll be heading back once my rear camber arms/toe bolts are installed.
