It's addicting isn't it? Maybe it'll be a bit cooler.
You'll have to give us a Wicks/TurnOne comparison.
Have a blast!

Yeah, please let us know. I'm thinking about Turn One, and I'd sure like to hear some first-hand experiences.

No doubt I am hooked! I am going up Fri afternoon and coming back Sun evening. Spoke at length with the folks at Turn One and they seem to know their stuff. They are open Fri evening for tech to save time on Sat morning. I hope it works out well since they have at least one a month.... We shall see.....
Doing the tire rotation this weekend.... my poor new tires! LOL

I am looking forward to seeing other types of cars on the track, hoping to get to see some serious rides in action...

Tim,

Your MINI is a "serious ride." Sounds like you're becoming addicted. Better buy some stock in the tire companies. Looks like you're going to be going through a few sets. Have fun!

Thanks for the kudos on the end result of my tweaks to blu.by.u ! Coming from one of the instuctors does carry alot of weight with me. I have seen you all in action now and have a real respect for those who actually "do" instead of just telling "how to".

I still can't keep all of the screen names linked to the folks I met. You are....?

I do not expect to hang with 3-400hp STi type toys but I do want to watch from as close as I can! LOL

The REAL expensive part is that Diane is hooked too and was reminding me last night about a sway bar and tires for her mini again! LOL

Go for it Tim! If the drive weren't so far I'd probably be there too.

Scratch that, "MOM" sez I'd better check my allowance!

If anyone changes their mind, I'm leaving tomorrow around lunch from work. They open tech on Fri evening to save time Sat morning. Good idea.....
