I would consider driving out there, but the Chin events are probably a little more aggressive than I want to get involved with at this point. If Bob has my car stopping again soon, maybe I'll head out and spectate. It's just so far from home... I wish we had a closer track.

Chin as advanced solo and instructor group is more aggressive than PCA but the novice and intermediate groups are just like PCA and a lot of the same drivers and instructors. Chin is a great track group to run with.

If you do not sign up and find your self bored come on out! I have an appointment with Bob on Dec 5th for alignment, brake fluid, oil change.

True, true. But I've never experienced axle hop coming out of a corner! Only trying to launch from 4k or more.

Fully agreed. I love Chin. It's my favorite of the three or four clubs (PCA being one) that I run with. The Advanced Solo is definitely more 'open' or 'loose' than PCAs, but the rest are totally the same as far as I can tell. I love that they offer a different kind of advanced class. They still want you to wait for the point by, but then the whole track is game for passing.

I've had sketchy situations, but in other clubs too and always when I was working my way up. Advanced groups are much safer, in my opinion. Everyone knows to keep looking in their mirrors and they know what to do.

Just got my car back after corner balance and allignment, WOW, what a difference! I lowered it 1/2 in all around and got the coil-over damptronics as all suggested. Thanks for your help guys, big difference and great handling to boot.
