      Laguna has no track days while I'm here (and not already busy on a weekend). Sonoma's only open track day would be this weekend, same day as the autox, but between the cost and that the car needs an alignment, tires flipped, plus some other tweaks I'm not sure its a good idea. I'm not prepared :(

      Hence why I want to see a race at Laguna and at least autox at Sonoma. I'll be back in the future to hit these tracks properly.

            Watsonville huh? If you have access to a BBQ you've got to go to Freedom Meat Locker and try their marinated flank steak- shit is unreal.

                Does anyone want m62 heads or an intake manifold? I am trying to clean out the garage before starting the next project.

                        Who is running an autoX at Sears Point on Sunday? Trackmasters ran one last weekend, didn't know anyone was running this weekend.

                          Is that a good venue? I've never been either to Sonoma or Marina airport. I just figured Sonoma would be cool, and fun to watch the cars on track.

                            What's going on in here?? It's been awhile! Finally resurrecting my E30 after sitting for a year & a half+. Passed smog with flying colors yesterday.

                              The Sears Point paddock can be a great course, if the designers put some effort into the design. Otherwise it can totally suck. The courses I build out there are often close to a minute long. I've seen PCA courses that are all of 30 seconds and are boring. I've never heard of or run with SpeedSF. I have no clue who they are.

                              I've run at Marina too many times to count. The surface there is epic, however its usually not warm enough to get any heat in the tires.
