If 10,000 dollars (~35 people) is not raised by September 21st, the track day will not happen and we will get our money back.

Also, will there be any loaner helmets or helmets for rent? I only have a motorcycle helmet at this time.
The way kickstarter works, is that you won't get charged money until Sept 21. IF the total of 10K is raised, everyone gets charged and the track day happens. If the 10K are not met, NO money is charged to anyone.

I have also seen instructors say that AutoX skills don't really translate to a road course. The speed differential and the smoothness required vary quite a bit.

Also, haven't made it out to any Tuesday night meets because Tuesday nights are already occupied. Any other meet times anyone knows about?
Upgraded pads, upgraded brake fluid, and tires with good tread are all you need to do to prep. Check lug nut torque, air pressure, and your fluids at the track after each session.

Discovery Parts are on site there and offer a wide range of helmets and safety accessories for sale.
Mention NASA Southeast or the Sparkle Pony for a 10% discount as well. I bought all my saftey gear from Ron @ Discovery Parts.

Does your school not let you drive out of the state of Florida? I would find another school.

We should weekend meet. Tuesdays are usually bad for me except tomorrow. I work 48 on and 48 off.
When I get my car back from the dealer for chirping, maybe we can get a group together and go meet up with the guys at TSM one weekend?

I'd love to do this, but will need to wait a bit to see if I'll be available that day :(

I've got Pmu pads and brake fluid ready for install... just been lazy, and figured there's no need to put them on now for daily driving my stocker.

You when you implied you can't make it because you are in FL for school. :D
