I've been contemplating on not registering and just showing up on Sunday. I've heard if you find someone that broke down on Saturday or that Sunday, you can take their place and maybe give them a 20 or something for taking their spot. Good friend of mine said every time he has went to RA he has never paid the entry fee.

^ Pro what happened to WPS?

I would love to go and I have the weekend open but I don't want to spend then $500 on brakes, tires, and race gas.

I wouldn't mind taking someones spot if they break down. Then I wouldn't feel obligated to run the car at 100% all day every session.

I'm not far from the track so I may joy ride over there Sunday to watch Andy test his BBK! I can't imagine what kind of speeds you'll be seeing. I was tipping 130 in my GT and that didn't have nearly the power these 4g63s have.

JJ, I got the job, but am not in anyway ready for RA yet. My brakes won't be able to take it, I don't feel I have the tires to have the kind of fun I want to have there. It is my open weekend though, so if I don't work a 12 hour shift that day, then i'll drive up to watch andy.

Oh I know what you mean. To run the EVO at warp speed would set me back about a grand for the day. Those carbotech XP12s and NT01s are expensive!!!!

That being said its the longest track in the US and a must do AT LEAST ONCE for a track enthusiast.
