Agreed with david 100%

We're a bunch of cry babies though, can't do this, can't do that....savings accounts are overrated anyways!
World ends this year anyway! On a more serious note, I'd love to get into tracking my s2k. I've always built boosted straight line cars. My last build was a 600hp pump gas honda fit. I really want to get onto a road course. Any recommendations for starting off in the area? I'm in fredericksburg.
You need to loose 400 HP , you won't learn very well with that kind of power.

I don't know, 400HP is useful for learning how to hit walls.

400HP is also good for soiling instructor underwear.

Sorry, Kevin I missed this. To answer your questions, my bro may attend the P-tuning open house. He is a little shy like me so it will take him a while to warm up and attend events. He is younger than me and good looking if I may add but I'm the better looking one.

Yes, I will be transferring the roll bar into the turbo S and trim all rear interior for reinstall . I plan on making her a dual purpose car, a show car and a go car.

That would be awesome, Jason! Thanks.

I plan on getting her ready by June Hyperfest time frame. There are quite a number of things to be done before I feel she and I are ready for the track. I will post my progress here from time to time.

I watched Wonger's camer view live to day from VIR. It isn't perfect, but it is the next best thing to being there. Who knows what else he will stream from there tonight. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/20536..._medium=social
