You just want to go to the kart track again because you know I am out of town and don't want to get spanked again...

It stopped raining by like 8 (?) I went down there with a bunch of buddies and it was an awesome turnout for a rainy day. Had like 5 NSXs, the usual Vipers, IS wagon and like 20 other cars. Funny thing is I went to Mason with my buddies to see some breakdancing and came back to pick up my car from Chic at about 11:30 and there were still over 15 cars there! LOL

That's cool, I wanted to check out your car a little more closely and ask you some track-related setup questions (safety equipment and suspension setup) if you don't mind.

Looks like it may be a nice cool night for us turbo fellas. If we can get a few cars tonight we should hit the kart track after ?

The test and tune at MIR sounds like a good time, but I still have some stufff to fix before I beat on the car again

I'm going to take a pass on the MIR thing, Friday traffic from here to there is pretty brutal and my car makes stock power anyway ;P Looks like they're calling for 20-30% chance of showers tonight but I'll take a chance with those odds. I'll be at Dulles just as fast as Rt 7 traffic out of Tyson's permits.

edit: karting sounds fun, I might be able to swing that , let me check with the "boss" ;P

I'm going to play it by ear for tonight. 20-30% means the weather guy can't tell if it's not going to rain at all or it's gonna be a monsoon ;P

Well I got good and rained on coming home from Tyson's so the car's all wet already. It's sunny out now in Herndon. I'm going to head on over and see what happens.
