On a separate note, is anyone going to the Pavillions this Saturday? It'd also be nice to meet some of you guys there.
No one will be too busy to help someone new. Personally, all I do is check my tire pressure and take out the spare in the trunk, takes no time. If you're like Evil86 though, the prep time is longer. It's best to get there early though, so that way you won't feel rushed and you can walk the track a few times.

As far as Pavillions go, we always have a pretty good group and considering that the weather is warming up I'm sure we'll have a good turn out.

That is not the case. To start, not much guidance is needed. Arrive early; clear the loose items from your car, the floor mat on the driver's side, and the junk in the trunk; put a little extra air in your tires (no more than 5 lbs.) go to registration; pay (if paying on-site); take your car to tech (if you have your own helmet, bring it, otherwise tell tech you are using a loaner); walk the course a few times with some of the other Toybaru owners; go on the novice walk with me (I take novices on a guided walk at our events); attend the drivers meeting; and then either go to your work assignment or drive fast.

Free instruction is available (I am one of the instructors). Here is a link to a walk through video, and at there is a tab for novice info at the top of the page.

Actually, pretty simple, and if confused, ask anyone driving a twin.

Vivid Racing has been my sole source of parts other than my turbo kit and exhaust. I have had zero issues and have even done alot of last minute switching to other parts. The thing about Vivid is that they will price match other companies, but they also have ties with almost every manufacturer out there and even ties with other retailers. I just ordered some really kick ass rear brake lines that no one carries except Essex (Spiegler Lines, only brake lines I ever used on my bikes) and they called them up and got them for me cheaper than what it would have been if I just ordered through Essex. They also have pretty amazing discounts on some brands.

I deal with Sean pretty much exclusively too so that helps me a lot if you guys need anything call them up ask for Sean and mention I sent you.

Also if you can actually go to Vivid and sit down with the sales people, things tend to go smoother. Every time I go they are constantly bombarded with calls from people asking for quotes so you might get lost in the mass of callers. When you sit down face to face you usually get what you need immediately instead of waiting for a response.

If it had the limited spoiler, but not the foglights and such, I've seen it around my side of town too. Not sure who it belongs to but the driver I've seen in it looks to be around my age.
