Sounds like they'll be running the short course in the afternoon, can't say I'm crazy about that as all the best corners are in the North loop.

Ho-ly-shit! The short course is freaking awesome! You sacrifice the half pipe for a straightishaway with a ton of short elevation change, car basically dances around underneath you the whoke time. Only two street cars there me and a C7, we were running a similar pace (which was way quicker than the majority of the field). Did about 2 hours on the full course and an hour on the short one.
Also, pretty sure I melted a throw out bearing |

Gonna try a few other things first, it's the infamous squeak right now. Just for shits and grins, going to try to get it warrantied.
In other news, sounds like I burned a new hole in the exhaust (need to get under to investigate) but I think I found a good oil balance. Couldn't get redline 5w30 with a setrab 16 row core to drop below about 60 psi (front of engine) or get higher than about 230F, and this was an 80 degree day and old oil (3 track days total on it) Also I'll have you know that tranny is an offensive term and you shouldn't use it. |

Once I save up for new front track pads, I'll join in on the track time again. Hopefully I get one more in before the season is over. Trying to finish paying off my debts by the end of the year (not counting house and car). I'll have more $ per month then unless I try to pay off my car quick next.

Also, I thought I'd dislike the sort course, but man was I wrong. Due to all the quick elevation change car basically dances right at the limit of grip through the entire bypass "straight" |

Yep, clockwise. Almost went up the hill after turn 5 right after they changed to the bypass, needed a real quick correction to not plow through the cones blocking off the northern part of the track.
And thanks for the info on the Ridge! I've been meaning to try it for a while, gotta see if I can fix the stuff I broke and still have some room in the budget to squeeze it in. |

You're gonna like The Ridge. There are mixed opinions about "The Ridge Complex" (aka, mini corkscrew) but overall the track is very rewarding, flows well, without being overly technical and has a good variation of all the bits; big long straight, a long sweeper, elevation changes, blind corner, hairpin and corkscrew.
