    The TX race is at MSR-H, right? I've got a big ass hanger that's about an hour or two away from the track.

      Its the short track there.

      I need to get the engine swapped out before the TX race.. Since We overheated the one in the car 2 times. I have a spare ETA engine anyway..

                  Those were our arch nemesis Salazar Racing, a mid atlantic SE30 team. That was a former SE30 car with stock suspension. The car got mangled at Summit Point last year.

                    ha. they were snaking the hell out of people heading into the chicayne in the first several laps. no wonder they got the vote for crushing.

                        Hahaha... my buddy Keefe used to run his SE30 with Salazar Racing. I think he recently got rid of most of his rides. He had a 2.5RS and a Legacy GT in addition to his white E30.

                            Ah cool. My team just picked up your driver Loren as our 6th guy for the Toledo race. Should be good to have someone with track experaince and more importantly real lemons experaince to help out with the practical aspects of running the race.

                              Loren did our fastest Lap time. He is a very good driver, level headed and professional. We were lucky to have a well mixed team. We also used the expertise of Tom, one of our drivers that Owns a shop. Since there were a good deal of car repairs.
                              The Pit stops are going to be crucial for your race since there is no break. Id bring a little red wagon that you can load up with tools, gas and oil. So you can take these items to the hot pit area.

                              Here is another video I just found. Its a good incar one.
