First things first. I'm super excited for this

I feel like the first day of school or something. I just hope the car can survive. The weather looks like it gonna be perfect, a bit overcast and 50-55*. I think the air density will be perfect for the turbo. As of right now there is 20 people in my class so there will be lots of people for me to watch and learn from.

I'm trying to get the car dialed in...
got the Illuminas set to 4(f) and 5(r)
one week old 235/45/17 tires
trying to get the S-AFC set in similar temps
hoping my new MBC comes tomorrow
getting all the fluids topped off
oh and I'm going to a training school the day before too

Anyway just wanted to say there is one more DSM out on the track this weekend.

	Glad to see some more DSM are heading out to the twisty tracks and not just the straight ones. Just go out there and have a good time and do your best Jordan. You may not be the fastest out there but dont let that get you down. Just try and stay smooth out there. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck !!!

Your gonna have a blast man! best of luck.
You never know Just how much ya have left to learn till you go to your first autoX, i left my fist one thinking 'damn I'm slow!' but with a big ass grin on my face. I came in last in my class my first day(in a stock fc rx7) since then i have taken a few 1st places Asp with the turbo mr2

a few tips if you haven't gotten them already, left foot breaking through slaloms will keep you in the boost and keep the chasi flat, gives you a big pull when you get out of them and can give it the beans to the next corner.

generally what i like to do is plan to spin the car at least once.

go out your first run a get a conservative base run down with no cones, learn the track. then get faster from their and go all out your last lap.

Good Luck!
