Road race.

I got to take a few laps with my '03 GT and do some autoXing with it as well and it was the most fun I've ever had in a car with my pants on

I like to go incredibly fast down a long road... heck I do it with a cage... or a roof, for that matter. *shrug*

They do Texas Miles every six months... I believe the weekend of October 12th is the next one. We should go.

Check that date... it’s the weekend of the 18th. We just had a surprise turnaround pop up out here at the plant. I’m going to try desperately to make it though. I just made an inquiry about running the ZX14R. If I can go, it’s going to see 186 minimum.

You've got to do licensing runs. I think it's 120, 150, and then a third one. It'll be a weekend long process for you.

Looks good! You're using rebar so I'm guessing you're planning on using non fiberglass reinforced concrete. That's great. If you are planning on putting down a floor coating do not use the fiberglass stuff. I told my crew not to use the stuff but they did it anyway. Made for a lot of extra work and headache to get the floor prepared for the epoxy. I could have strangled every one of them!

Thats a good question. It cracked like that all the way down the wall. I'll be keeping an eye on it. If it get worse I'll have to get my builder involved. I dont think they put rebar in it. That is the floor in the garage. The pad was already down before we even knew about the house so I didn't see it go in.

I would contact the builder now.
mine is a monolithic pad, it has a footer with rebar, my builder says if you don't bevel the dirt where the pad and the footer intersect then it can crack.
