    Have not touched or even looked at the 55 since Hallett. I'm going to pull it into the garage tomorrow and see how much work is needed.

    Thinking about it, have not raced there yet.

    What’s the paddock situation? I’ve only been with TDE, so we have spots at the grid.

    Bring a pit bike. The main paddock is at the bottom of a big hill.
    They've been expanding the paddock, it's bigger every time I'm there. You can see the lower "fork shaped" paddock on google maps. There's additional graveled area just south of that. And the upper paddocks, to the west of the fork, has also been expanded significantly.

    Tow rigs and rvs generally take the lower paddock, letting the drive-in cars take the upper paddock.

    They usually designate a zone for CMC and another one for Spec Miata. That way you know where to go for BBQ, and where to go for a good haircut and pedicure.

    EDIT: They lock the clubhouse not long after the track goes cold. If you want to get a shower, get it done during the daytime or immediately after your last session. You can also use my RV's shower, but there's a camera, and you'll wind up on my OnlyFans page.

    I am not going to make it. Cannot find the right part for the steering rack. Got one more I can try.

    Hm, We had done an LS rack into an LT column for #82. I don't recall having to do anything funky, but I may have gotten the lower part of the column from the junkyard when I bought the subframe and associated parts. I did see a few local LS cars on car-parts earlier today when I looked.

    Steering shaft is unlimited in the rules, can you just get a rack and make a shaft with aftermarket u joints?
