Thanks guys...I was holding my breath. I guess I have to fix the CV joints now.
I'll post a schedule as soon as one comes out. I think the vintage cars run on Thur, Fri, and Sat. and the GT, Cup Cars and Club Race cars practice on those days and run on Sun.
Here is the latest update:

John,
That is awesome. Susie just setup our trip to Rennsport at Laguna Seca last night. It will even be better now knowing someone racing in the event.
See you there....

I was talking with Steve McKay last night about Rennsport. It may not be known, but the next time Rennsport will be on the west coast should be 8-10 years, FYI.
