I bought mine first day of sale. I think it was 750 for two tix.. reserved seating. Parking was 200 last year.. I'm guessing will be the same.

Yeah I was gonna do the 169 ga pass but I have cheap friends who don't like racing


Thought I could wait a month or so. I was wrong. 2012 didn't sell that fast.

Are you kidding?.. 2012 sold out overnight. They opened up more bleachers and GA later on.

GA is okay.. not too bad Fri Sat.. but raceday.. you better be there when they open the gates and camp out. Especially for Turn 19. Turn 11 (hairpin) and 19 are probably the best GA viewpoints.

Yeah.. my co-worker was psyched because they wanted reserved seats but were only able to get GA. They were given first choice to new bleacher seating when it opened up.

Regarding ALMS.. it looks like full track config but no bleachers except grandstands (main, 1 and 15). It's going to be a great event. I suggest getting the best reserved seats you can, either turn 15 or main grandstand since it's the same price as GA.

Then walk to different parts of the track during the races. Turn 3-5 and turn 10 will be a lot of fun. I expect some wipeouts at turn 11.. plus the shifts and exhaust note going through the hairpin and up the straight is awesome.

Turn 18 to 19 is the money turn.

That's quite pricey for a few pieces of plastic.

Have you guys seen any TLs in person with aspec kit and was it jaw dropping?

Dude, I can teach you! If you understand Offsides and Icing, the rest is explained to you.

I play myself-I'm a goaltender. Plus, I'm the Stadium Announcer for the hockey team here in Kansas City. I am the only voice of Stadium Announcing for hockey since 1990 here in Kansas City!

Yeah, but it's different hearing it from someone who has seen an aspec kit in person but doesn't have one themselves vs hearing it from someone who has one themselves since you become used to the look.

I have seen one myself. I think they change the appearance of the car drastically, in a great way. If you have the coin, it's a must do mod. Honestly, if I had to do it all over again, I would have bought it before I spent a dime on anything else after I bought my car.

That's exactly the kind of advice/commentary that I was looking for. I've got a bit of a "bonus" coming at the end of the month and will be able to splurge a little bit on large mods but there are still a few $x,xxx mods that I want to do so I'm just deciding on order.
  • Aspec kit - $750
  • Koni/Nuespeed/H&R drop - ~$1000 when it's all said and done
  • Front end respray (appointment already scheduled, not really a mod) $700 including fixing my bumper
  • PCDs - $400
  • Hondata flash pro - $700 I think?
  • XXR 530s - Another $700 when it's all said and done

I was leaning towards either the aspec kit first or the Koni drop with spacers first.

At first glance, and probably because I've never seen one in person, I can't really see a distinct difference.
