Yeah, I was pretty much set on going with OEM suspension, because it is getting pretty close to the actual event and I'd hate for something to go wrong with the install or break-in and be out $350 for the event. I didn't really think of the baseline, but that is a good thought. As far as the alignment, I wonder if I should get one this week or not...it has been a while since I have had one done.

Is this another 'your instructor techs you at grid' style event? I liked that with the last NASA event I did. Saves time instead of trying to line up in the am with the rest of the drivers.

When you arrive and found us unload everything out of your car, get situated, install your numbers and wait for the drivers meeting. Everything else will flow from there.
See you out there. And oh, the new guy always bring in some coffee.

Ah good idea. I need to do that. I also need to go out to OG Racing for a helmet?
Hey metros and Beepbeep...can you PM me your cell #? I will PM you back with mine. I figure on Saturday morning I will need to track you down to hand you your coffee

You lemons guys will be paddocked over at shenandoah. So us HPDErs are on our own.
I can be there Friday to set up an area. Just not confident my stuff wouldn't be moved by those with trailers or what not when I leave. I also don't want to leave my s2000 there overnight to hold our area.
Ron, where will Eric be setting up camp? Normal s2000 spot or whereever he can get a spot?

Hey, I got an email from NASA today about the event and they sent a spreadsheet and said "If you go on the track with the incorrect number on the car you may be black flagged" (I guess that's not as bad as having your back flogged HAHA 
) but when I looked at my name it said NONE for number. What do I do?

Clarkster - As far as alignment - I wouldn't worry about it for your first event. For you this event will be about learning basics and increasing awareness. You'll be overwhelmed with on track traffic, learning the line, and brake/acceleration points. You won't be wishing you had gotten that extra .3 degrees of camber.
FYI, I always pack a small cooler of a few drinks and snacks. The day is physically exhausting and you'll want something to keep you going along the way. Also, its going to be pretty warm. Fluids are good. Bring extra oil, basic tools, air pressure gauge, helmet, numbers, etc. I like to pack as much as I can the night before to make that morning easier.
