    I didn't want to post this in the regular forum because I don't really want everybody showing up it too crazy with a bunch of people. Anyway, Scott and myself will be at Road Atlanta with NASA and we are hoping to snag the class track record for Road A too. It would be awesome to have some of you guys there, hopefully we will be running in two sessions so there might be a chance for a few ride alongs.

    I'll be there with a couple of other friends.

    Matt, if possible, I'd like to get a ride in your car at some point during the day.

    Yeah, my buddies that were out there yesterday (snakecharmer) said it was VERY slick indeed.
    The viper that puked oil all down the back straight didn't help things either.

    My bad...so what happens when the oil filter of a Viper comes loose on the back straight, sprays oil under the car and rear bumper and touches those hot side pipes? It was described as a giant fireball that shot 6 feet off the back of the car. We only witnessed the aftermath - a nicely charred bumper. All in a days work, I guess.
