It would be cool if you came out, I'll let you know if there are open spots. I really want you to spank my buddy's M3.
You'll do great on the (SOWS) track. It's a low HP track that is best suited for small better handling cars. The front straight away is only 1,100 feet so it's hard to get good speed, maybe 100 mph for your car. Since you guys are renting the track privately, you should run the track clockwise in the morning and counter clockwise in the afternoon, just to mix things up a little bit...
You'll be surprised that the higher HP cars won't be able to get away from you on that track, it's strictly a finesse track... Everybody will think your Crossfire is a rocket ship compared to those ferraris... This is really a track that you'll need to throw the car around. Their are only two places to pass, so if you do a little "creative driving" you'll beat the other cars handily...
Once you learn the line you'll be taking out your buddy's M3 on your own...
If you want to see some in car video of the track to familiarize yourself with the layout, there's stuff on YOUTUBE... And video of me beating the crap out of a Lotus Elise here on this forum...
