Ralph. There are quite a few who will be driving up and tracking their cars, including me. I don't have a trailer. I took my Unique FIA to th '05 Roundup and we did something like 150 laps on the Gainesville Speedway track in the 2 day high performance driving school. Remember you are not racing - there is no passing - you are running hot laps to your own speed. A pace car will wave you by, and you run at your speed - when you catch up to the pack you stay behind the pace car until you get another wave by (pace car runs at 60% speed more or less). It's a chance to go through the gears and be as aggressive as you want. Generally there are two groups - those with racing slicks on who generally run 'hotter', and those with street tires. Rick
