Eagles Canyon - in town MSR-Cresson - in town Texas World Speedway - 2-3 hours Harris Hill - 3 hours Circuit of the Americas - 3 hours MSR-Houston - 4 hours Hallett - 4 hours dang.. what's the 8th track? I don't really count Texas Motor Speedway... so few actual HPDE events there.. but I guess that could be it. Hmmm.. my 1M has been on all of those but COTA (pending!) and MSR Houston...

I agree with you on Hallett. It was a great track and I am ready to go back, however, with CAMBER next time.
MSRH has a few corners that I love so it keeps its fun for me.

Who has the VO at Texas Track Works in FTW getting ohlins and arka exhaust?
Mine is parked right next to it getting a track inspection and Meisterschaft put on. I'd love to hear your and see it completed but I think I'll be done before your car is ready.

That is mine. I'm killing the last few minutes before leaving work to go pick it up, so I will probably see you up there. To say the least, I couldn't sleep last night and the day has passed by so slow....

I was born just outside Dallas, but I live in Newfoundland, Canada now with my VO 1M. It's the only one in the province so I'm told.
I will be in the Dallas area from March 5th, on to around the 30th. I'd love to meet fellow owners, maybe at an event. Let me know if there is anything going on around that time. Thanks Robert |

LOL...my exhaust went on much easier than yours! it is loud as hell too. I might have to pull the berk mid off and put the OEM mid back on to quiet it down a little and relieve some of the drown. But under WOT, it sounds great!!! My neighbors are going to HATE me in the mornings when i start up to go to work LOL.
When I left they hadn't even started putting the actual exhaust on yours. They had just finish running the control wiring. I'm taken it back next week or the week after to get Vorshlag camber plates put on as well as fluid flushes. These guys do good work. I just wish they were closer to dallas. Forest took a lot of pics of our cars so I am sure he will post them on their Facebook page sooner or later.

There is a event at the end of the month with the drivers edge at motorsports ranch (MSR) outside of fort worth but it is almost full already. apex is running the 1.3 course at MSR on March 9. It may sound short but it is challenging with a lot of elevation changes. I am thinking about doing it and for a 1 day event you get a ton of time on the track. It will wear you out. The porsche clue is also doing an event the same weekend at Eagles Canyon Raceway about an hour outside of dallas. So you do have options for some track events. Have a save trip down.

I've got my akra paired with a Maddad mid and I'm still wanting more exhaust note at the mid and top of the rpm range. I can see catless dp's in the future, but not that near. The wireless option is what sold it for me. My wife doesn't like the loud exhaust, but I can't get enough of it. The wireless is the perfect compromise
And yes, the guys at TexasTrackWorks do excellent work. I'm fortunate to work 20 minutes from them. I am sold on where to get my car worked on.

Yep, AJ not installed the exhaust, but he also did the post coilover alignment. Good thing too, it was toed out in the front by over 1 degree. He then proceeded to wrap my old exhaust components for me and place them on the trunk. It's service and attitude like this that will keep my business, not product offering or pricing.

Too bad you are not here the first Saturday and you could do Cars and Coffee. [/QUOTE=Mnime] First Saturday in march is grand AM at COTA. A spectator event of course but if you are going to extend your travel here a few days and have rental wheels in the meantime would be a nice side trip. Quote:
If you do bring the 1M all. the way down a members day at ECR is an option as would be an autocross or just meeting for a beer and dinner. |

I had a good weekend at MSRH with TDE. My first time to go CCW on this track and my first "wet" event even though I only did one session while wet. Cut out early to get back to Dallas at a reasonable hour. My best time was a 1:53, which had it not rained would have dropped at least a couple seconds. I see several area's where I could have shaved some time. I ran this session with the MDM on too (1/2 setting whatever that is called). You can hear it actually hear it kicking in when I am trying to put the power down coming out of some of the corners.

I don't know which direction I prefer. CCW makes the carosel really fun and you get a great run into diamonds edge which is an easier corner CCW to me. I was never worried about the wall going CW but CCW did worry me some. I like going through the launch CW better than CCW. I may just be bias as I have done CW several times but this was my first CCW. Still its a fun track.
