They been around the US for at least 1.5years.

I wish I'd scheduled for it tomorrow. I'll have to make the one in November, I guess.

Not sure apparently there is Radical sponsored race series. Not many people actually drive it on the streets but you could if you wanted to.

Probably the worst day at the track for me...morning session i was adjusting to my new 4 piston wilwood caliper upgrades !!! man i could compress my braking zones something fierce...this has to take at least 1-2 seconds off my track times (if i kept them!)
i asked to be put back in the lower group b/c the racer group had the radicals, gt3 cup porsches, lamborghini countachs, and severally race prepped cars (i'd be to slow)
for something neat i was keeping up with a couple very poorly driven cars...a blue ferrari modena, a yellow lamborghini murcielago (got pics of them which i will post later) and several 911 carerras
found out the wilwood polymatrix t compound pads last about 2 20 minute sessions before they are all gone (125mph stops into turn one didn't help)
start of the afternoon session bought a set of performance friction race pads from OG racing (seems wilwood pads for the dynalites are similar to volvo oem pads - much bigger than oem mazda though)...bed them in and omfg i could stop on a dime and brake so much later than i could ever expected - later apexing is the sh!ts
halfway through the session the car become extremely unsettled under braking enough so that i pulled in the pits immediately and found out my right rear ss line was frayed and broke spraying brake fluid all over the tire and tire well
that ended my day as i did not have a replacement line and you just can't patch it up and continue...so i went home and didn't get a chance to ride in the radical ...plus it was catered with good food and lots of exotic cars
if you get a chance you get about 3 hours of track time!!! i might try to attend the other event
i will post pics later but need sleep
