as far as autobahn, if your talking about the time attack in oct. Thats with the club i run with, midwestern council. It wil be on the north track (1.5 mile). You get 3, 3 lap practices and 4-5 timed runs (standing start one lap and head back in) IIRC it will be ~$100 for non-club member of Midwestrn Council.

Yeah...I'll get the pics up. I haven't brought them to my PC yet. If everyone else who took pics would like, copy them up to my FTP site. PM me for the details. I'm still waiting for the vids to be uploaded.

Dan, to become a film editor, you have to actually produce some viewable images.

Like buring up your brakes!
My brakes are done. The front rotors are warped, the front pads have less than 20% left on them, and I am pretty sure I have alot of air in the system due to my boiling the brake fluid. As a result I have ordered some slotted rotors and new pads from EBC and some steel braided brake lines. That combined with some brake fluid should fix most of my brake fade problems. I can't wait to test it out.

When I grow up, I either want to be in the military or a transportation engineer.

How old are you? They just raised the intial entry age to 39, I think. If you are older than that I'm sure we can get you an age waiver. Just let me know and I will call my recruiter friend.

I think we may have misread the calendar. So the 14th, 15th, 21st and 23rd are evening test and tunes. The speed trials are on the 22nd. I don't really have a clue what they are. CGI is having a school on the 10th, but it being a Monday, I'm screwed. Other than that, that's pretty much it for the rest of the season, which ends there the weekend of the 29th.
