Ahh, you definitely don't have to worry about traffic at those times. That will be nice.

On the handling topic, does your car have wheel hop issues? my car has serious wheel hop and it's maybe because I am used to my old '01 bullitt with 315s, but its kind of annoying + embarrassing to passengers. I'll take spin over hop any day. Point being is my plan is probably to do LCAs and bracket very soon too.

Yeah, the low incident of AutoX is nice for me too, as cones can only cause so much damage, typically just cosmetic. lol. I don't feel like putting my car into the off-track and breaking something or flipping it. Just not really ready to get that wide open.
The wheel hop is a common issue. Just not quite enough tire, and the suspension geometry. An adjustable upper control arm and new lower control arms with poly bushings are a good remedy to this.
