Default DE @ TWS on Feb 04-05 Anybody

I just signed up for the LSR DE @ TWS on Feb 04 and 05. After my DE in Nov i am looking forward to this one and wondering if anybody on this forum is also planning to go.
I ran my spyder stock with SS brake lines for the last DE, planning to try track pads for this one. All else will be stock. Changed my brake fluid before the last DE in Nov, should i do the same before this one too?

tech used to ask for a 6 month brake fluid change, which is fine for street driven cars, unless you've been doing a lot of tracking since Nov., do your tech check off sheet. the most common ommission is brake pad wear. most of the usual suspect will be attendiing. see you there

I doubt you'll need to change your fluid, but it wouldn't hurt to do a quick bleed.

I'll be there, hopefully with Green-17 working this time.

This is a great opportunity to shell out the $50 or so for a power bleeder and learn to bleed your brakes. As you continue with your track addiction, bleeding the brakes will become more and more important. Might as well get started now.

It's easy.

Glad you're going to come down and join us. I think you'll enjoy the track and the people are friendly (except for VR of course). Looking forward to meeting you!

BTW, we had over 100 people registered in the first 20 minutes after registration opened, and sold out completely in two days. Our initial signup on cr.net set a new record for the site, surpassing the rate at which registrations came in for Rennsport Reunion.

Damn! I really wanted to make this one my first PCA DE (as well as my first time at TWS). Guess I'll have to have my finger hovering over the register button next time!

Thanks! Ken mentioned that there were 61 registrations in the first minute. I look forward to meeting 'y'all'. Did I use that right?
