I'm registered!! I'll be watching you defending the track record against Glenn from a safe distance!!

Defending my track record. Ha... I am guessing the new record will be 3 seconds faster. Given the track is 1.2 miles or so that is HUGE!

I,ll be there.

Hi Guys,

I will be there in HPDE 2 driving the 944 spec car formally known as the War Wagon!
It's going be fun!

See Ya there,

Austin N.


P.S. what is the current track record?
