I leave mine off, but leave yours on if you prefer it.
Why risk it? Bring a sixer of Shiner.

I'm going up in my Miata, not a luxo-barge. Space is a premium.
Sweet. Congrats! Now don't let it overheat again. It missed an important drive to Colorado.
So Tire Rack made my shipping label and marked it shipped yesterday morning. Scheduled delivery was supposed to arrive today.
UPS tracking this morning could not give me a scheduled delivery date...turns out Tire Rack marked the shipment as ready for pickup yesterday morning but didn't hand it over to UPS until about noon today.
Looks like I'll be arriving at the hotel late Thursday night...
225/45/R15 RS3 on 15x9 Advanti.
Haha should be enough to make the stock suspension feel very inadequate
Rogue, do we have a rendezvous place and time for the ride up country tomorrow?
Anyone with Race Port to sublet/share? Hate to pay $80 for the entire port just my car.
Yeah, planning to meet at McD's on University just north of the split.
10am
We'll get fried pies and Yoohoo at Davis.
great some soda at Pop's
and late Lunch at Rock Cafe in Stroud.
Also plan to do Route 66 on the return trip Sunday, for the track junkies that like to run around backwards.
We'll stop at Seaba Station motorcycle museum.
see the Round Barn and hit Pops for those only making the return.
Lunch at Bunny's, to give Driftdevil a hard time.
Davis mtn/Turner falls twisties
and roll on to the casa.
I'm sure you'll be heartbroken to learn that I'm not driving with the group after all, since I'm trailering up. See you on the track.
Gabkwong,
I didn't try to stiff you with the Raceport fee, my power steering issue prevented me from driving on Saturday at all so I just checked out to save the hotel fee for tonight and drove home.
PM me your Paypal so I can send you $.
Had a GREAT time at Hallett this weekend. Very well run event, with lots of nice folks. Connie runs a tight ship and it shows. Couldn't have asked for better weather and the track itself is awesome!
Thanks to hornetball for some much needed instruction before my first session...already looking forward to next year! (Sep 8-9, 2017 ...mark your calendars now)
PS - Trailed Rogue on the way up and followed Rte. 66. Really enjoyed that and saw some cool landmarks. Came home via 99/377 (thanks to cone-cerned!)...very relaxed, low traffic route with nice scenery. I'd recommend it!
Pictures guys. Hate missing it again.
I had a great time, as usual. Well worth the trip. This was not my fastest lap, just the fastest that got recorded.

In case you missed the number, that was car 167 passing me.
I had a great time. It was a perfect first track experience for me, and knowing there would be only Miatas on the track went a long way toward easing my apprehension, which evaporated anyway about as soon I shifted into second coming out of the pit. I was hooked before I got to turn 2. I'm in for next year, but I'm not going to wait for that before I go again.
Many thanks to Rogue for leading us up and back. It was fun traveling in a group and seeing the sights on Route 66 along the way. And fried pies, you know.
