When are you going up to VIR? I went twice last month and will be going again next month for DEs. Hopefully I'll get my E30 ready for chump/lemons later in the year too.

I am out of the country until next year unfortunately. So right now I am in planning/buying/stockpiling mode. With the idea being spending the first few months of next year in garage mode so I can be ready to join in the fun for 2016. I am hoping to get 3-4 HPDEs in.

For what it's worth I felt the stock gearing is pretty good at both tracks.

Out west we kind of have the same problem with AAA speedway which is a nascar roval like Daytona. A lot of people will top out 5th and then are stuck at redline or wondering if they should take a different line and shift to 6th going into turn 1. I have not done AAA on my 4.08 gears yet, but on the sweeper tracks and on the short quick tracks it definitely has some advantages. I know at Daytona the cars use 6th gear, but they have custom gear boxes too so not sure how our car would fair with 4.08 and then hitting 6th gear.
