Sears Point and Laguna Seca pics

Better late than never--some pics from the CMC race at Sears Point on April 29, and some pics from a very deserted Laguna Seca on April 30. If you want any of them at higher res, just gimme a holler ...

Fav Sears Point pic? Hard to tell, there were so many different cars of all classes, I caught a small fraction of the ones that had interesting details. I do like this shot, though:

My favourite Laguna Seca image is this: a triad of Vipers with Michigan plates sitting outside the souvenir store at Laguna Seca (well, really the Skip Barber school, but it's right next to the store). Too bad everything was closed, so I couldn't actually buy one to take home. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Black [-----] LT1 twin turbo

In the San José area end of April--any events?

The twin turbo is languishing in the garage ... Work's been nuts with some crazy hours, and I've barely been able to see my kids over the last little while. Now I am being tossed to Silicon Valley for a biddness trip ... and all of a sudden I am feeling a little better about work. ;-)

Is there anything going on in the San José area, or at Laguna Seca? It's been a long time since I've even been able to hitch a ride as a passenger, and I'd love to attend an event on the weekend. Even if not, I still plan to drive down to Laguna Seca, just so I've seen the place.

Pointers, suggestions, invitations (? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ), all are welcome!

What's with the new banners and site slow-down?

... I'm trying to figure out if this is malware on my box, or frrax.com

Last night ffrax.com wasn't accessible for me, and now then the site started popping up some extra ad banners above the sponsors, for finanial services. Not only that, but any link I click now takes *forever* to load, 10 secs or more. It's frustrating.

Anyone else get these? I blocked them all for now, but the site slowdown for me is still a real nuissance. I'm just wondering if it's malware, or ffrax.com.

Why does my user info suddenly show a Warn indicator ...

I've seen these on other boards, too, but what I find odd is that I seem to be the only one (or one of few) users who have the Warn indicator. I've never been warned, and it's at 0%, but still I am feeling strangely singled out this morning. :-)

WTB: LS1 brake upgrade

[ *** Sunday March 18 -- still looking for a complete upgrade! *** ]

I'm looking for a complete LS1 brake upgrade kit (spindles, rotors, calipers and brackets. I don't need useable pads, and the hubs would be nice to have but optional ...

I can find an incomplete and somewhat expensive kit from Billy Graham's salvage and eBay doesn't come up with anything good right now that will ship to Canada (or that doesn't require me to pay by money order).

Anyone have a kit for sale? Thanks! Please post here or send me a pm.

... and this all started when I pulled my entire front suspension for some detailing ... then the little gears in my head started turning and now I already own a set of Hawk HP+ pads, but still need the rest of the upgrade!

Oh yes, and I've run out of brakes on the track twice so far. Either I need to smarten up (I wish ...) or I need a bit more brakes.
