Alright. The next track session is going to be on August 28-29 (Sat-Sun). However, if I go, I'll only be there for the 28th. The good thing about the 28th is that it will be a night run, from 4pm-12am.
This is good because I don't have to wake up @ 4am to make it to the track on time. Also, I can leave before midnight, so that my day/sleep schedule won't be messed up. It'll be like a normal day with a lot of driving, for me.
Guys who want to go can PM me, and I'll get them a discounted rate. Here's the link: http://speedtrialusa.com/
They have a semi-official cap of 25 per run group, FYI.

I will SOOOO try my best to make this one. But I am weary about one thing. My tires are almost hitting the tire wear indicator. Will I pass tech?

^ I meant plenty of meat left for daily driving. To me it seems little meat left for tracking, but plenty left for daily driving.
Sorry for the contradiction.

This has me thinking now. My NT05s come with only 6/32 tread depth anyway and with the large blocks I don't think there will be a large difference. However, if all goes well in my meeting tomorrow and I get all 4 replaced for free, I may take the ones that are coming off the car and make them dedicated track tires. Only issue is the feathering on the inside edges of the rears. I'm not sure if that would make a noticable traction difference.

I'm pretty aggressive in the turns. I usually enter with a hint of understeer which quickly turns into oversteer and hit the throttle early when exiting so I have to use minimal steering correction. I'm very hard on tires which is why having this old set would be so nice.

No kidding? That's great. Maybe they feel sorry for those of us in the armpit of CA. Wait, that's Fresno.

Alright. I'm going to go to the track on 2/5/11.
This is a unique track day, because we get to drive on "BIG" Willow, not the "Streets". This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the big straight at Big Willow, because this only opens up about once, maybe twice a year.
Cost is normally $145 for the day. But, I've secured a discount with the people at Extreme Speed. If I get at least 5 people total to sign up, I can secure an even bigger discount than what I have now.
If you are interested, either post on here, or send me a PM (I will probably respond quicker to PM's), for the discount information.
