    In 2018 they offered ride alongs in race cars one weekend and we went out and got with it. There was no 80 percent speed rule like in TT, we were door to door and I even gave a Spec 350Z a push start. Every person that got out of my car was beaming and it was the same for everyone else too. I don't know what the next result of that was, but it got a lot of people excited. You're not only trying to win them over to CMC, but the idea of W2W over time trialing their beloved street car that they're attached to and may not want to stop driving. Around here the tracks aren't long enough for a newer Camaro on street tires to really beat down our lap times. Often they're shocked at how fast these buckets get around a track when they experience it.

    I settle for w2w conversions, more racers in general is better for the group. I also recommend most people start with a different car, rather than trying to convert their street car - which is already too modified to fit into a practical class most of the time.

    Most of those modified street cars have all the money spent on go fast items and zero spent on brakes. I agree it would be easier to show them how fast a Hooptie can be.

    Make sure you point everyone of them toward the #99 car and remind them that a Texas Region racer gets a discount. And they can take it home with them after Eagles Canyon.

    Last day to register before it goes up $50. I’ll be registering today.

    What does a check ride really mean? I see several vette drivers doing a check ride but they are in de1/2?

    Registered. Just cut a box open that’s seat mounts but it’s for a stock seat. Will have to move the cool suit to mount a seat. We’re we able to give any rides at Houston? Will they let us give rides at cresson?

    They're trying to move up in HPDE groups.
