Road America is an awesome place. Usually get on that track once a year. Going to miss it this year more than likely due to other commitments but this event might be doable.

Anyone on the fence should not be, you will not be disappointed and is worth a 30hr one way drive if required, I promise that.

Hit the Paddock Club for great food, and of course the famous Siebkens for a drink or lunch. Look for our stickers there.

Yeah it's a 20 hour drive direct from here.. but friends in Indy will have a pre party so I'll get drunk there on the way Plus a few brewery stops.. 3 Floyds FTW!!!

So my 20 hour drive will probably take from Friday early AM to Sunday night lol

Same here but I didn't want to throw a clean title 97 into a wall on the track, hence why I built my GS-R and sold the ITR for track stuff. I still look for a cheap enough but clean shell that's close enough to deal with, then I'll swap everything over just for the chassis improvements.

Had it listed for 10k, but I think I'll just keep it. Seems to make more sense to sell the BRZ, lol. Will be going to Chicago in April and hopefully be able to take it out on the Autobahn Country Club.

Love how raw/loud the ITR sounds even when it's 100% stock. Makes the BRZ feel like a limo, lol. Maybe you can replicate that same raw feeling on the BRZ by swapping bushings and removing sound deadening?

I need to check the suspension on the ITR. It's 100% stock with 136k miles lol. If there are leaks/problems, I'll probably just swap it for Bilstein sports. Won't have to worry about making bump/rebound adjustments. Not looking forward to replacing bushings though.
