If Jeremy is being dangerous I am not going to hesitate to tell him to leave. I am not going to have an inexperienced driver that has a big head ruin the best meet of the year for good.

If he's being that dumb.... I just hope you beat me to it Mike... Cause his mouth irratates me by itself. And his driving pisses me off too. He is the type that will probably push me into syco mode unfortunately. But he's all yours. lol good luck. lol

god i cant wait to ride in everyones cars =D see what everyones got. god one of these days ill have cash saved up for my swap and i can stop day dreaming! woot

Corey, I have been pondering on getting larger sway bars for my car if you want mine. I believe the rear is an 20 and the front is an 18. They are both whiteline.

Got my belt to stop squeeking finally!! Turns out I didn't have a wide enough one on there. Now I'm only an oil change away from being ready for this weekend and I already have the oil WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!

As far as this whole Jeremy thing goes, I am not going to really single him out as that may cause problems. Everyone will get their chances and if anyone is driving like a lunatic they will be gone, not just him.

I am going to be relying on my Moderators to keep a sharp eye out for people driving like idiots. If any of you see dangerous driving you have my permission to give the boot or you can notify me to do it.

Like you said Mike no reason to single anyone out. Everyone gets a chance but if you cross the line you are gone. I would think that everyone on here would feel the same about it and it just needs to be handled appropriatly. Anyone starts acting wreckless and scaring people, first off they need to be talked to, if they ingore your warnings, everyone collectively helps escort them off the site (Mike, you as the originator just need to be the point man so we don't have chaos... but the forum community stands behind you).

Thanks Jake. I am really hoping we can just get together and have a fun day of racing without anyone getting kicked out.

According to the weather channel website it looks as though the weather may not be working in our favor for the meet. Rain is in the forecast so I would just like to say, BE PREPARED FOR IT!!

RAIN OR SHINE WE ROLL!

Driving on a wet track can't be much worse then driving on that chip-seal shit last year

Driving on a wet track would be fun!

the wet track would certainly extend tire life!!!

I agree.... wet tracks can be fun..... but it greatly increases the chances of spin outs and off track adventure no matter who's driving. But still fun... just have to tone it downa a bit. I will be bringing the tires with some trhead instead of the slicks.... just in case there is water.... can you imagine slicks in the rain? lol

yeah calls for "few Showers" FUCK! ah well yeah it will be NO WORSE then the Chip-seal last year haha. that was fun and bad haha get all 4 tires spinning easily haha. DF auto im def gunna ride in your car ha. im just excited to see everyone elses build and chat it up again with you guys.

We need to stop talking about track day, it is eating me alive!

I AM GOING TO LOCK THIS THREAD!!!!

ahahah NOOOOOO!!!!

hey mike would i get the endlinks or no?

and how much you looking to get, im a poor white kid ahha

I dont know yet. I am going to price out a different kit and go from there. I would probably do both the front and rear w/ endlinks for $125 - $150? Endlinks are also Whiteline.

125$ sounds great. hell yeah ill take them im assuming bushings are included?

Not sure what I will charge. Endlinks alone are $130 or so and just the rear sway bar is $179. I will let you know.

Forgot how much I paid for those and I just looked all the parts up. Alot more expensive than I thought.

yeah they are pricey but hoping that would be a fellow GC8/MAEC/Cool guy discount ha =D
but ok come up with a price. try not to break my bank to much lol

So I was there last year and had a blast! But I am getting told that prepay is required but read that you can pay the day of. Please clarify for me. Also I have a friend that does the SCCA races that would like to go. Would that be cool? Can't wait!

^^ hey michelle =D who is that who would like to come?

His name is Chris..he drives the black Corvette at the SCCA...You might have seen him...him and Matt are the ones that convinced me to race the last SCCA race

ah the automatic corvette i know who your talking about lol

I remember you from last year Michelle!! Yes you can pay the day of, I'm sure Mike won't have any problem with it but it'll be $45. And your buddy w/ the Vette is more than welcome to come!

This is gonna be an awesome turnout!! We gonna have a group photo again this year?

For those who will be attending for the first time this year I have tracked down a couple good links for you

First off is the map to the track in case you get lost from the caravan:
http://www.opi.mt.gov/pdf/Advdriver/MontanaDRIVEMap.PDF

Secondly a slide show put together by the Big Sky Region Porsche Club that shows all the points and turns of the coarse (very nice info!)
http://bsk.pca.org/Lewistown_files/frame.htm

Thanks! I don't mind the price it is more than worth it! Can't wait!

Who all is going up the night before?

If its not snowing most of Team Sprock will be up there Friday night.

eh going a day earlier not my cup of tea. im kinda scared its gunna be 2 packed =( lol well hey are we gunna be doing aHUGE picture like last year =D

Thanks for the links Todd! Great info, plus that slide show brings back memories from last year.

Anybody interested in leaving around 6:00am? (I didn't see a "late group" time posted)

I just remember standing around for awhile last year. And you can only have so many cooks in the kitchen (track set up) before it gets crazey. But if we're starting earlier or my help is needed I'm happy to go at 4.

Yeah im thinking about changing the Great Falls group time to leave earlier. i wanna be there as long as possible hmmm yeah sending around texts now. leaving at 6:30am from great falls now. GOD IM SOOO EXCITED NOW FINALLY!!!

We got there a little early last year, but that was also at the end of the year. As it is spring we will have light starting around 5am so we can get the track set up before 8 (that is the goal).

There will be a large photo again (weather permitting).

Also I only have 26 Lewistown decals, so it will be a first come first served basis.

There'll probably be a lot more cars this year Corey but i don't think we'll have to worry about having "too many"

And Adam you are now officially in charge of the 6am crew!! lol!

I guess that means I will be heading up the 4am crew... HA HA HA...

ah ok ill be there early. i really hope i get one ha, got a spot on the car for it =D hehe

I will make sure you get one Corey as you were there last year.

Just found an 84 Maserati Biturbo on craigslist for $600. Maybe I'll bring that.

A 2.5 hour drive from Billings won't put us there by 8am if we leave at 6, and I definatly don't want to miss the start of the festivities. So I'll start another thread to see if anybody is interested at leaving around 5. That should get us an extra hour of sleep, keep us out of the way for track set up, and get us there for the kick off. If nobody is interested, I'll see you all at 4am. Dang that's early!

its not too bad adam...i get up for work at 4 everyday. haha

Hence why I'm going the night before. Don't wanna be haul ass on such little sleep.

Then you're drivin'. I'll sleep in the back. Besides, it's not up at 4, it's rollin' out at 4, which means up at 3:30.

I will be up around 130 or 200. Have to get a couple games of Battlefield in before we leave. I will be there by 315.

I plan on wakin up at 3 and being there by 330. The girlfriend and I usually only take a half hour to get ready and I live 5 minutes away from the meeting place
