Is this for the November 28th event? Or a yearly membership?

A yearly deal. The event is kind of a one time shot but the specs on a year would be a 1 time $2400 fee (which I am hoping we can get to come down) and like $50 or $75 a month (which I may or may not be able to change). Each Track session is $20 after that. You can also rent garages and storage unit for $175 a month. But a group but may only be able to change our one time shot of $2400, I am just trying to get a feel for who might be interested

If you attend an Apex school (Next one on Nov 28th) you can get a discount to join the Ranch.

I like the sound of that. There's nothing wrong with saving even more money.

I do not know anything about a group buy. I do know if you attend an Apex event you will get a discount when joining MSR.

HA HA HA! Don't be so sure the TT will help you on a road course. Sure, it'll help on the straight aways, but there are still 20+ turns to contend with that are not forgiving. So I'll see you there?

If all goes as it should I might have to accept your ridiculous offer.

why is it such a ridiculous offer? I add an instructor in an anniversary edition Z on my butt the whole time at the last event I went to there. She knew how to drive her car in the corners and that's where a race is won on a road course. I'm just hoping that my experience on the track will out perform your increased power. We do, however, have to set up a drag night at ennis. Can't do this Friday cuz I'm on call and next Friday I'm in the pit crew with my cousin in Stephenville racing a stock car, but I HAVE to see what your car does in the quarter...no doubt, it is a monster.

I'm just messing with your head Randy. I admit that I won't do well on the road or possibly even on the quarter mile because bottom line is that I have never done either of them. I am so scared of breaking something and being without it for a few weeks that I just don't do it at all. Plus the stereo will add so significant weight to it so the quarter mile may not be as fast as it could have been. Plus I need a full Coilover suspension before I do either the track or the drag. (My car shifts its weight pretty bad with just springs) I am looking at Tein Full coilovers with in car adjustment. If I can get the suspension work done and everything running right I think we can talk track and drag a bit more.

I am most worried about my axles on the quarter and spinning into the crappy dirt run off they have at Motorsport and ruining my paint. But I'll keep you informed.

the extra weight will prob help at the drag strip and road course. Why? Well, at the drag because the extra weight will help you hook up easier. My fastest time ever was when I left my spare and tool IN the trunk. As far as the road course goes, our cars are naturally front heavy. Your added weight help equalize the rear with the front. I had my car corner weighted, that's how I know. As far as suspension goes, yes, I would rec the Tein Flex with EDFC and I WOULDN'T worry about damaging your paint. It's dirt, not dirt rocks or regular rock gravel.

Oh yeah, forgot about your axle concern...I've yet to see ANY G or Z break an axle...that includes guys with 600+ hp at the wheels.
