Thinking I'm about 90% to go. HeatSeaker w/ the Transam is going, one of my bike buddies too. Possibly tiresmoke so far.

Should be a good time, supposed to be one of the largest amateur GT2 style races in the country. Looking forward to having breakfast while bathing in the sounds of 600-800HP in the morning. :thumbsup

Here's the schedule

I love the Runoffs. I think the years at Mid-Ohio were my favorite though. Looking forward to heading up there for a few days. Always a good time, especially now that I am not crewing (can only see so much from the pit lane).

Well working on a pit crew does have its perks. It's does suck when you only sit in the pits for the whole session but good thing we have a modded cart and three scoots. Good Times.

Yeah, I still have my crew pass for the week or so. Saturday the 24th I will be up there the most, otherwise run up here and there after work. The worker parties are always a great time too.

Ran up for the test day on Sunday. I have such good timing. Chain broke on the motor during Saturday's test day, so Sunday was engine swapping time. It was planned anyways to put in a better motor, but the broken chain resulted in some damage and broken sprockets.

Unfortunately, the new motor that was shipped from Washington wasn't shipped well and resulted in some damage on the top end. Engine builder was at the track, so he was busy just as I left.

I was there yesterday and will be the rest of the week. Car count is down over 100 from last year. Once again Scott Tucker is back running with SCCA. WHY???? Just to buy himself another championship!
