NASA is at Big Willow that weekend. NASA never runs streets as it is not a real racing track.

Not meant as a gouge. You have definitely taken full advantage of that track for sure.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? What is it then? I have video from a race run at Streets just this past weekend...

Interesting...I didn't realize that. My apologies.

My new statement...NASA does not use Streets of Willow. And you didn't answer my question.

You mean the Streets of Willow is not really designed for Wheel-to-Wheel Racing. Anyways, I know what you mean.

But it would be fun to watch an American Iron race there.... They would be drifting around the skid pad and there would be good old American made body parts everywhere.

Streets is for developing driving skill and setting kick ass lap times

Wait, I thought you said you weren't driving it?

And I won't let you run it in 4. You've never been on the track and TT runs at the same time as 4.

Actually, I've been thinking about this. My HP+ pads are at about 1/2. I also have a set of Blues as well. This track is very nice to brakes.

Hey BUR_ZX3,

I was planning on signing up for the sunday track event the day after FOTB but this EXCITING announcement has me curious if I should sign up or not. If I hold out will there be a discount?
