I'm gonna try to make it out to that first event of the season with the fit, then its back to the other car

There is a scca sanction in milwaukee at miller park that always has people from chicago. I've been told you only get one or two runs when its packed in chicago. You always get 4 runs a day and usually have time at the end for fun runs up here. I know the first one is in april and it would be fun to race other fits if you guys are willing to travel.

Milwaukee is actually where I go. I live directly in between the Chicago location (actually down south in Joliet) and the Milwaukee location. The distance from one or the other is with in a few miles but theres always less traffic going to Milwaukee. Do you race there regularly? I remember seeing one Fit up there regularly, I want to say it was a black one.

You get a good amount of racing there. I went a handfull of times the last couple years. I've been the only fit there so far and yeah its the black one. I'm in the sts class so the old ef civics usually take the wins but every year I'll do a little better. Last year there were a bunch of scions that would definitly need a good fit ass kicking.

I know how you feel. I only got one day in my setup (the wilwoods with tracklites and 235 Azenis) before the season ended I'm excited to break in my new SSBC rear big brake disc conversion

Are you planning on going to the school on April 19th?

I went last year and the amount of seat time alone makes it worth going. I think I'm gonna sign up again this year.


Edit- I don't think I'll be making it to school, I'm taking a week off work to go to the Dominican Republic a couple weeks after the first event. I can't take that much time off that close together, 3 out of 4 weekends off in a row is a bit much
