Wishing you the best of luck! Just make sure to have FUN first and be safe so you can tell us all about it. Wish the event was closer to Kansas so we could make it there. Enjoy!
By the way, I noticed the louvers on top of the front fenders. Are those functioning? The nose kit on our car has an extra directional cutout next to the fog lights that directs air towards the front wheel wells. We still have the factory plastic inserts in the wells so the air doesn't have a means to get there, but if it was possible to vent it, that would make it worth some time.

Wouldn't be racing without a bit of last minute scramble. Found the wideband is acting funny and the battery not holding a charge. Got replacements so into the car I go before I pack up the Durango for the trip down tomorrow.

Weather is looking iffy... UTCC looks like it will be dry on Friday, but Saturday looks to be pretty wet which stinks. Hopefully that changes, we'll see!
 
I'm pretty exhausted but I'll try to write up an update soon. Waiting on at least some photos to share. Short quick summary though:
1. Won Fastest Prod AWD in the UTCC
2. Going to be featured in a later issue of Grassroots Motorsports Magazine (not sure if it will be the cover car, unlikely since it's black and black cars don't sell magazines)
3. Won 2nd place in TT2 on Saturday, out of seven competitors (won me a free tire and $100 off hawk products), but had alignment issues holding me back. 100% sure I can get 1st next time. Missed the award ceremony though due to...
4. Tire exploded at 130mph taking out front driver's corner

Lots of other little things in between so I'll do a report soon.

Don't forget that race report :)
 
Any updates?
 
Awesome result! Can't wait till that issue arrives in the mail.

I'm going to sweat the odd weight bias our cars are hampered with, waaay less now.

And how fast my friends GTR's seem to be.
