Also some of the common questions i've gotten i'll post up:

Yes you will have a blast if you've not had ANY experience, there will be lots of people to help you learn how to drive the lines and its a chance to run WOT all day and really use your car.

Some of you have asked what mods you would consider musts. Well for fox cars i'd say you should at least run good brake fluid and pads. I highly reccomend brake upgrades (All the mods i had last year was a fresh set of kumos and SVO calipers w/ slotted rotors and i did pretty well). But i would reccomend fresh fluids and nice fresh pads at the least.

Also how safe it is ... well last year we had no accidents, the cars are spaced far enough apart that they dont bunch up. Also, there is no passing except in desginated areas, and only if you are waved by the car in front of you. IMO its as safe as you can get ... if you run off the road there is a lot of room to get stopped untill you hit a bunch of old tires. Which at teh worst will throw nasty water all over your car. Also we have to pay an ambulence to be there the whole time and a full complement of trained courner workers. We also have a mandatory insurance policy we had to buy just in case. SO its pretty safe.

If you guys have any more questions at all dont hesitate to email me. I'd be happy to answer any of them.

This was a BLAST last year, those of you that have road raced before know. You'll be hooked !! Its like a full day of adrenaline rush rather than 12-15 seconds of it like when you drag race.

Its VERY addicting!!
