Well, it doesn't look like I will be able to make it Friday. I have a Spanish Exam at 9AM Friday. It's over at 10AM, but I don't think the car should be driven that far until i have it looked at.
It's bouncing like an earthquake at speeds around 30MPH in the rear, and the steering wheel shakes at 80MPH... in between those two, it's not so bad... but there's something seriously wrong, I think. The tires are only a year old, but I think maybe something more than that is seriously wrong. I'm just worried the car's gonna wreck while I'm in it.
Stupid FC.
Bert, PM me with the info on that guy I should take Lindsay to. She needs to see a doctor (a real mechanic) stat!
Thanks.
Sorry I can't make it guys. David and I will be going next year, I'm sure. Hopefully by then I'll have my hands on a TII or an FD!

Its cold out there! Hard to get any kind of heat in the tires. Carl

What time do you guys think you'll be at VIR on Friday? I may have something I have to do on Friday morning and wouldn't be able to meet you guys at 8:30, but I might be able to catch up at the VIR entrance since I'm a bit closer.

Are you gonna be at VIR this Friday? Looks like we'll have a pretty good crowd again for the laps.

I should be there in the Miata. I'm going to try to meet you guys at 8:30, but if I can't make it I'll just meet you at the gate at VIR.

Steve, Fluffy Stuffen', will be in town and several people want to get together for a Drive-In on Saturday. Don't know if you want to hang around for that later in the day.

You're donating $25 to the Salvation Army, you can donate as much as you want. But for every $25 you donate you get a 30 min track session. They way they work the track seesions is once you get a group together to head out on track they start the pace car and your group starts.

Topping off is optional, the racing gas at the track is 104+ octane and too hot for an 89 GTU. Yeah, our cars aren't as thrifty as the RX8s. Are you still bring your wife to drive you around the track, that way you won't have to ask directions to get back to the start line?
