Not a problem bro. Always fun kicking it with you. Hopefully we can hit the track together again, but with my DC4 next time.

[Samurai_Blue]

Likewise! I still got your 'special pricing' reserved for Thunderhill whenever you want to come down this summer. What did Thadya run in her gs? I couldnt find the times.

Dope! I'll let you know when I'm down for Thunderhill. Right now, I'm getting DJ ready for WSIR. Thadya didn't rent a transponder, but she used an app on her phone to record her lap times. She said she was doing around 2:30-2:32. It seems about right from what I've seen when I was out on the track.

[Samurai_Blue]

-____- i totally thought DJ was a person then i remembered you are like me and name your cars loool. Yeah she came up to me and i kind of felt bad cause i didnt understand she was on the board, and knew me from it. I kind of gave her the 0_o face at her. I think next time ill be able to set a better time in the low 2:30s with a clean track. I kept forgetting you had to keep it in vtec and where my redline was at hehe! And, of course that was the first time I really drove the motor in a spirited way, since Elton fixed the 4000rpm rev limit the day before.

It was fun tracking with you guys! I wish I saw the special pricing for the two track events. It's a steal plus you get free timing. Oh well I'll wait till the next one comes up.

Glad I got to finally chat with you guys (Matt and Dylan) in person. Hope we can track again soon.

The Track Junkie special also counts if you sign up for WSIR in June and BW in August. So it's not too late to register for the special.

I think I could've gone under the 2:20 range if I had better brakes and tires. Not bad for being a 100% bone stock Civic. I'm excited to bring the DC4 out to WSIR in June!

Lemme see if I have enough funds by the offer exp date. I'll be used to my steering wheel by then too. I felt that I didn't turn enough on some of the turns lol.

If you want to go to both Round 3 (WSIR) and Round 4 (BW), the Track Junkie Special is definitely the way to go. Plus you also get free timing at BW. BTW, what steering wheel are you running?
