    I'm not saying the laps at VIR wouldn't be cool, nor a great way to scout the track, BUT it doesn't appeal to me not being able to go full-tilt. That's just me.

    Yeah, the pace was hit or miss today. I had one good run and was actually able to work on sections at speed, but most were just dealing with inexperienced drivers. Still much cheaper than a track day and got to work on my line at slow speed.

    Neat!

    Andy, I need to sit in your seat again. I am looking at FIA seats. Which HANs did you get? Necksgen? I am looking at a few, but only a couple are FIA cert. I think I may need to go to Charlotte/Mooresville sometime to go try a bunch of stuff on. I am thinking of a Sparco or Alpinestars suit, too.

    I used to have a Leatt MRX but they got recalled. I traded it for a HANS sport II. The HANS isn't as comfortable but it feels a lot sturdier. The HANS also has a quick release system that is pretty slick. I'll probably be at C&C next Saturday if you want to see it.

    Excellent. Thinking of a Simpson, just for comfort and the ease of egress.

    Looks like I'm going to be attempting a motor-in tranny swap on my friend's MSM. It sounds like a colossal pain in the balls.

    Would there be much interest for anyone here to do a track event at CMP in Kershaw, SC next autumn?

    Anyone going to the meet at the Raleigh Grande tomorrow? I will be there then heading over to Bimmer Performance Center. They are hosting an open house to show off their dyno and alignment rack. Bimmers get priority on the dyno at $50/pull. I may do one just yo have it as a baseline. Bimmer alignments are $50, which is a steal. The shop does excellent work and the turnout should be interesting.

    I'll be at C&C. I'll throw my HANS in the car so you can try it on if you like.

    A dyno pull sounds intriguing, me and my brother are a little puzzled by his E30. It has the same gear and same motor as the lemons car but pulls much harder. We suspect there was some tinkering done in the car's history.

    I'm out. I will be working on the Expedition tomorrow. I have to hardwire the inverter and install the distribution block for power. I also received the new harness for the headrest monitors that I have to install.

    As far as the trackday, I'm in for the fall.

    The two people carried to the hospital are my wife and daughter. My wife is fine banged up alittle but will be fine.My daughter has been in the hospital ever since the accident. She has a broken coller bone. Sprained ankle. Both her lungs are bruised and one is slightly collapsed.The black car is my wifes g6 the other car was a mid 90s car. Driver of other car was in my wifes lane comming head on and my wife attempted to go into other lane but it happened to fast and hit head on. Police has confirmed that other driver was at fault but now i need to deal with my insurance because a few hours ago i learned the other drive was driving without insurance. Will let you guys know how things turn out. We had a trip to disneyworld planned and paid for plan was to leave december 12th but i have allready started the process to get refund because its gonna be hell getting them back into a car much less a 12 hour road trip.
