I joined CASOC, however I felt NO$ has a pretty cool name, and will hopefully be able to waive SCCA fees this weekend as well. Can't wait till race day!
You sir, rule. I'll probably go with NO$ (free t-shirt!). Whats the advantage to CASOC?

Fellow team members grab you magnet stuff for your car while at the store. LOL We're all CASOC and our points go towards team points. I just noticed Rob and I are the only ones representing CASOC for SM and SM2 today. Come to the dark side young Jedi.

Fri. practice may be full by now( to get into to practices you have to mail in your check ahead of time, considering tomorrow in Thanksgiving and Fri. is practice I don't think it's physically possible). If not, it costs 60 vs. like 20-25.00 because of the low # of entrants allowed. Fri. means alot more seat time. I believe all of us are doing Sun. morn. run groups.
Hope this helps.

Ughh. Couldn't help but go look at the car to check on damage and tracked down some very small leaks. P/S gearbox( might explain the binding feeling some say they have if bearings are locking up under extreme pressure and no lube-also caused reservoir to spill over slightly), coolant leak- looks like a couple places including water pump seal, and a really small fuel leak between the rail and top grommet/o-ring for the injector.
