first step is to take your car out and just run what ya brung! no sense spending money setting a car up for that if you go out and find out youre not even interested in the sport

I want to but have nooo idea where to go...

Wonder if we could get an event setup...MIFbody road racing day...

I would for sure be down! Just need to know in advance to make sure i can get it off from work or if by chance i just have it off...

start saving if you wanna run your car, a day at the track is usually a good $150 or more but it is well worth it! you get tons of track time in, meet a bunch of nice people, good drivers meeting, and they feed you jimmy jons all day! Also i burned through more than half a tank of gas in 62 track miles

I'd love to do a track day once the Formula is fixed.

Not to mention, you'll probably significantly reduce remaining brake and tread life

tires for sure, but brakes you can go easy on. The big killer of brakes at grattan is turn 1 after the straightaway. Every lap i would just engine brake down for that corner and not worry about time lost, then drive hard the rest of the course. Most corners i only needed a quick jab of the brakes to set the car up for the turn and then it was burning rubber from there

Awesome Joel! Grattan I use the brakes pretty good, slow down quick from 140-60 for turn 1, I stab them pretty good at turn 2, and then back for the hair pin I also nail em!

Car looks nekked!

Edit: AND really clean!

Haha thank you! The hair pin was probably my favorite turn of the course. I would come into it hot engine braking from about 5500 RPM in 3rd gear... LOVED that sound!!

I should be ordering them tomorrow, but I might take you up on that since im going to need to fabricate seat brackets!
