Thanks for the pointers Adam. I'm going to be running my 275/35/18 Dunlop Z1 Direzza Starspec's with 4 days on them. Not as grippy as new tires, but they are still plenty grippy. I'm switching back to R Compounds once these wear out so I don't want to drop the change on a new set of street tires. I'm in the middle of building my LS1 track car so most of my funds are going towards it right now. I've actually thought about throwing the hoosiers on and running the modified class.

As for Nashville SuperSpeedway, it's a smaller course that you can't really carry alot of speed on(aside from the front straight). A sequential twin car would be perfect for this track and I've been trying to get SPICcnmFD or Chadwick to run but haven't had any luck as I really think they could lay waste to the street or modified class. With my laggy T78, I'm just going to go and have some fun and get some experience

Hope you can make both events. I had planned on doing most of the Redline events, but I decided I didn't want to do events on a bunch of tracks that I had never ran on. I'm also focusing on getting my competition licenses with NASA this year so I can do TT's next year. I have 3 days at Nashville now, 2 in my blue car and only 1 in the silver, but that's a good start. I just can't say no to NSS as it's only an hour from my house. I just wish they had more track days. After this event, I don't know of any more at NSS until the Mustang Club has one in Mid September... in which I'm doing a 3 day PCA event at VIR(I'll sign up for Novice and request Fritz as my instructor... pick his brain for 3 days ). Oh well, I'll gladly drive 4 hours for Road Atlanta or Barber, and 8-9 hours for VIR. That's why I have the truck and trailer

BTW, I almost spit my drink everywhere when I read your Andy Samberg comment... haha!! Speaking of which, have you seen the Mother Lover video? "What is it dog?"
