I talked to my buddy yesterday who drove his Cup Car at TWS last year.
Very fun track (depending on the config), with fairly abrupt transition from flat to
banking and then back to flat again. Really fun medium length left hand sweeper
for those who like to "shake their tail feathers"
I saw my buddies 07 Z06 yesterday since its visit to MTI Racing. This car will be a
FIERCE all arounder!!! Sounds really mean, HUGE (315's in FRONT!!!) R6 Hoosiers mounted on new Forgelines, etc. Cannot wait!

Yeah. Ed and I emailed each other. I'm trying to work my schedule out so I can make it. The M5 is going to be a pig out there. I still have problems with parts of the track which makes me reluctant to instruct.
Wooster I got your PM and forgot to reply. I'll instruct but you need someone more experienced since you seem to be very accomplished.

Woodster - WOW, that Z sounds like it's going to be a serious force to be reckoned with! FYI, since you and your bud are in the ULTIMATE Street Car Competition, make sure you get to dyno day in the morning when the gates open (well, for him atleast) so you can see the dyno schedule.
ekyub - I hope you can make it bud!

Ready For Tx2k8 !!!
My car is 100% ready to go.
I pulled it out of storage (temporarily) today and drove it around on the freeways to see how the new exhuast system sounds and runs.
I could not be happier, the Switzer has a certain high quality sound that should really sing at higher RPMS's. It was cold this am (20 degrees, F) and even on low boost, straight line acceleration; I made the PSM lights light up due to traction loss in 3rd gear acceleration !!
.
See ya in Texas next week!
