great first race day !!

Have you ever considered renting the track at Woodburn to T&T? I'm not sure if they still rent it out or not but they used to. If you get a couple of buddies to go with you it will keep costs down and you can make way more passes than if you went to a regular T&T day.
It would be fun to like have a party with friends and stuff and do that on a special occasion butt it's just too expensive for test and tune. On any Friday or Saturday night much less expensive and much closer to my house I can go to the local TNT at PIR. Of course it's a night-and-day difference because Woodburn is it full prep track and PIR is not. But at PIR I can go round and round as much as I want for a simple $28 and get an idea of my tune and practiced launching and such.
