Hi Jack,

Will we be running clockwise both days (preferably), or do you mix it up?

Thanks....

I vote for Clockwise using the star mazda loop at the other end. This is the longest of the configurations and IMO the most technical in nature and the highest speed.

Jack what do you say? Clockwise long track?

Not sure, yet. I'd like to check it out CCW, but maybe just last session or two on day 1.

probably at least do mostly CW so we don't have to look at the passenger side of your car going down the front straight. :wink:

Well, if Mike G. steered me to the right body shop that wont be an issue any more. Now as for power steering, well we'll just leave that alone for right now :evil: .

Eh? How would you know Jim? You saw nothing but the back of my car most of the time anyway. Oh yeah, I guess you did see it IN THE PITS!
