I'll consider it... I should finally have a fixed bucket seat installed to make it a bit easier.

Although I really need some better rear tires to make up for the fact that my shocks and springs are OLD...

I suggest you guys get a street sweeper and clean the track off a bit better, last time was way too dusty (esp. when you spin out and get a face full of dust)0 and full of FOD...

Sweet. My friend and I will be down there with his E30. He got bit by the bug and wants to learn to drift and figured that instruction would prolly be a good way to go, so he signed up. It'll be a bit different than his track stuff.
