I am planning to be by a little bit, but I think we now have a few houses we are looking at mid day so I have no idea what my schedule is now. Once I get back in town on Wed I should be good to go to spend most of my time at the track.

Yesterday might have been the most productive day I've ever spent at the track. So much stuff figured out, the track feels great, and I think my nats prep is nearly complete. It was also upbeat and friendly which is really the way things should be.

Sweet!

Brock Witmer's signup for MHIC will also include his dad Ryan (he's just a kid) so that puts us at 48 bodies today.

I think so.

We had to miss our flight out if Phoenix last night on account of us winning the race. I still plan on being there Tuesday. I need to do some rebuilding, re lubeing, and truing.

I really don't want to be that whiny pancar guy, but is there anything we can do short-term to allow for any of us racing 12th/wgt cars to be able to do some last-minute testing before nats? I know it is a touchy subject and I realize traction is good for touring cars right now, but this is getting to the point where I will likely just practice at e-plex for the rest of the week. I got about 4 minutes out of a 17.5 car yesterday before fuzzing over, but only about 2 minutes with my 13.5 car (running mag/pink).

I feel like if this was a case of "tough it out it will get better" we would have seen improvement by the end of the day yesterday... any thoughts? I also hate to say it, but we are only a month away from MHIC and a mod 12th would be virtually undriveable after a minute right now.

I don't want to start an argument, I just want to be able to have meaningful practice and racing, that's all.

I'm not sure what to do with the traction/fuzzing. It was not good for TC yesterday either IMO. Do we need to vacuum? It has been a while and a lot of "crap" could have settled onto the track.
