I’m not sure about the move in date. On the Lemons schedule page it says “Do not show up on Thursday “.
I saw the same thing as you on the High Plains Raceway calendar.

Dropped Packets is bringing the charbroiled Integra back for round 4, but leaving the MR2 home.   

Not sure on the Thursday night thing.   I think they leave the gates open on Thursday night/Friday morning but I'm not sure.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Did you get rear disks or drums?

I converted my Celica diff to disks them upgraded to Supra so I can hook you up with janky caliper mounting brackets if you need them.

I emailed the track manager and he said we can get in from 4pm Thursday onwards.

Also the cheapest gas at the track is $10/gal 98 octane.

Re: BFE GP Colorado - Who's coming and what are you bringing?

will Yokohama be onsite? 

Pistola Alto is bringing our local buddies and (if transporter shows up on time!) that Z31 that has been filling-in the background scenery of exclusively west coast races  Hoping TSA lets us bring all the crap we couldn't sneak on the shipping truck.

My understanding is that the Yokohama trailer will only be present at races with "Yokohama" in the title.

Sorry for the late reply, yes we did. After our first race, I think. I can't remember what we got them off of (possibly a pick-up?)- but the brake pads are the same as the early 2000s Malibu.
