Scott!?...no ****
A little sensitive buddy...I wouldn't ask such things if I were more of a car guy. Give me time. Thanks for the lawyer jab, we clearly don't get enough of those.
I've resisted calling you in recent weeks. Eric tells me you got saddled with a beefy engineering job. How many hats do you wear? Speaking of Eric...he and my other brother raised 89 sails yesterday and landed 50. They're in Guatemala. About this whole 'work' thing....
Anyway, I'm in the shop all next week. Love to hear from you.

I'm really enjoying the car and I hope to catch up with all of you in upcoming meets. Not sure about early March, but I'm going to try. I rarely post, as most of my questions are disposed of with a search of the boards.
Few questions for the locals though...
How many of you are tracking your cars? Do any of you attend track days here in Sebring? Where else do you run? 1/4 mile doesn't fascinate me, but I'm dying to learn how to drive my car well.
I notice the club has "Highlands County" in the South chapter. Is there much significance to what chapter we're in? I went to law school in S FL and still have a lot of friends there, but I spend much more time in Orlando and Tampa. Season ticket holder since the Big Sombrero and family in O town. Anyone else from Highlands by chance?...I rather doubt it, as I haven't seen another coupe around here yet.
Finally, I have an opportunity to add an ATI kit for a nominal expense. Probably a month or 2 away. To that end, I need to get my shoes in order. I've been comiserating over wheel/tire combos and exhaust since I got the car. The setups I like look to run me over $5K. Browsing ebay I came across this set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT. Emailed seller, and I think I can get the wheel/tire combo w/ fugi exhaust and y for $2500 plus shipping. I was leaning toward HKS and a 19" set with a bigger footprint, but if you guys think this is a good value...money is money. I appreciate any thoughts you have.
Haven't done my membership yet, but will in the near term.
Take it easy,
Mike

In regards to significance in chapters, there's not really much of a difference. We move around in regards to location for our big club meets from Lokey to north florida to south florida. You'll just find that some areas have more local meets due to closer proximity of club members and friendships formed through the club.
Regarding that ATI procharger...make sure you invest in a J&S safeguard to control the timing issue with that supercharger setup. As for your wheel choice, I like them. I've always been a fan of the BBS RGR's. Too bad they're not in 19's.

with Chin Motorsports. CAN'T WAITI should probably make another thread on Sebring 12 tickets...what did you spend on yours? I think they're $90 for the 4 day. I can get as many as needed for $40.
