On the wait list for HPDE1, as usual. I swear registration for these things fill up in like a day.

This seems to be the norm for all of MA events except CMP. When it's about 60 days off of the event start looking...

Wrong. W stands for winter - the first number is the oil's viscosity in cold temperatures. Second number is viscosity after it gets hot. (200+ degrees.) Therefore if you want a 'thicker' oil for a track car, you most likely want to raise the second number.

If you go, you can take my car out for a session.

You just have to be pretend that it's a really expensive car that you wouldn't want to break.

As long as your car doesn't have a front lip I'm sure you'll be fine

We've had that talk already.

It has a splitter but, it's part of the bumper and it already has some war wounds.

It would be interesting to hear someone elses opinion on my car though.
