Stuck at work, need to clean air filters, change oil, change plugs, fuel filter, set up camera mount - looks like it is not going to happen.... damn to hell!

Look for an instructor named Kelly G. 40ish white guy with a white M3 - great instructor!

Yeah it was great I was in "C" group though so instructors were optional. I didn't want one anyway I had the worst power/weight as it is lol. I needed all the momentum I could manage to keep up with the lotus and the Z06 :p

Yes, on the way home last time I kept hearing strings of rubber off the front tires flying off - car was pushing a bit. I've put a new swaybar on the front to see if it helps...

Racing Beat ~ same diameter but solid and stiffer. Car feels the same except is flatter going around the corners - less body roll.
I also adjust my shocks in the front to full stiff when on the track - seems to help, but not quite enough..
