Bought 2 more spacer keys this morning, luckily a local speed shop had some and then took my car to a garage and they heated them and got the spacers off! Now just have to go back to my friends tonight and put the wheels on since they are in his garage. I wish I had a damn garage lol
Also just checked the list wow a lot more cars are signed up now!
See you at the track Chai or Anthony I guess your name is going by the list?

I just found out the requirements for helmet is snell 2005 or newer which means I can't use my brothers 2000. I don't suppose you have an extra one Sean? I'd like to avoid the $30 dollar rental fee they charge if possible.

I hope you see this in time but snell 2000 is fine. From the website:
"The recommended helmet is the latest Snell Automobile (SA) rated helmet (currently SA2005), although we will accept any Snell rated helmet"
Off to sleep now, see you tomorrow!

What a blast! Passed some cars I didn't think I could pass, got passed by some cars I didn't think could pass me lol
Best time I managed was a 1:54.0
My car felt great out there I was running about the same times as the 3 S2000s in my group.
Definately recommend this to everyone who loves driving, I wish I did this sooner.
Couple pics
Typical pose pic lol
It was great meeting you Anthony. It was definately an amazing experience and I will have to do it again sometime.

Great meeting you too Sean, I wish my car was as track ready as yours. Still, I'm happy about how I performed with stock shocks and long lasting all season rubber. Do your rear tires still have dry goop-y rubber on them by any chance? Mine are chalk full with them because they can't wear them out as fast as the fronts. Plus now I have a weird humming noise that comes and goes but only at 65mph. Here is a picture of you blasting down the straight. I took it when I overheated and pulled over halfway through the session to let her cool down 
I managed a 2:06. The slowest time on the list, and 6 Seconds slower than the next slowest Miata.
And here's a picture of my overheated car...

Here is the google maps to the airfield.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=...20Great%20Park
If you zoom in and look around you can see tire marks and even track setups all around the airstrip lol
Side note: It is the same place they film Top Gear USA guest star laps and other shots.
