Great! Maybe you could PM your name and such so I can look you up when I am there.

I have signed up and reserved my hotel and everything. So I will be there with my beast ready to go.

Need a helmet though. They told me they would have loaners but, want my own for me and my Wife...

We are both going to go ahead and start in the novice class. But, I wil be there Friday for open track day to check it out some before receiving instruction....

I am already anxious!

May see you there. Kicking it around with my wife as well and will probably split seat time in the novice class as well. Need to get helmets, too, since my stock pile of motorcycle helmets do not meet the requirements.

Hi Vicky

Looks like SoCal SVTOA is representing!

Not sure if any of the San Diego Chapter is going up besides me.

Why don't I know you may ask? Because as usual, there is no communication amongst the members.

Is it true Eibach Pro Kit springs are on back order for the 04 Cobra?

Eibach on backorder...unfortunately yes...it is true

I have 2 members with 04 Cobras that have got the H&R sets from me and they are very happy with the kits. Not trying to change your mind...just a thought if you are looking to get it done before Buttonwillow.

Sorry to hear of the lack of communication in SD. Did you attend the show and go a few weeks ago I heard was going on? The Pro7 car we sponsor was racing that same weekend so we had to provide track support. We are really pushing the event up here....and I'm so stoked about FAB sponsoring the band. We're going to have a blast!!

Well as least we are pretty fresh after Spring mountain....I will be at the streets I think on the 22nd with some Cobras,,,there is an EVO infestation there I hear....

The evo club is showing....one of thier guys is really quick...ran a 1:30.9 which =s my best time ever....we are running counter clockwise

As far as buttonwillow, I just heard that Khumo has released the V700 in a 245/45 16 so I wont have to run the wimpy 225/50s I did at Spring mountain...I hope thats good for a sec or so

I am planning on being there Sunday and looking forward to being a spectator as this will be my first SVTOA event. What day is the raffle and spectators can participate as well, correct?

Yes you can participate!

The raffle will be held Saturday night at our BBQ party after the track goes cold. We have a live DJ and great food with camping available at the track for the weekend. Additionally, Brembo and Maximum Motorsports will be holding educational sessions each day.

When you come out, look me up! I'll be in the Wild Pony Motorsports/Nitto car. Bright Blue 99 GT. Can't miss it
