I'd post a video of my oopsys, but I have some gaming to do and Cox communication loves to throttle my connection speeds.. . blah.
Great day though guys. I'm glad to announce that my cars cooling system can do without a mechanical fan driven by an engine pulley and I can just run my upgraded cooling system as is. big radiator, high flow water pump, lower thermostat and lower auxiliary (AC) fan switch. was sort of a test day. datalogged some runs with Torque Pro.
I have no idea when they will run this course again but yall should come out to the next event anyways ;-) if you are not out of town or going on the cruise. two months from now, the weather will be perfect!!!

Holy balls batman that was fun!! It has been way too long since I last raced this car and WOW. Car was unreal today and felt amazing!! Went through some tire pressure adjustments and also had to soften the rear rebound and compression settings to get better grip. Car had zero understeer but had a decent amount of oversteer until I made the shock changes and also settled down and stopped over driving. I also had to give the tires time to come up to temp.
I will def be out doing a few more of these. Madhav was kind enough to grab my camera and take some pics for us, so I will post those in a few days.
For now, here is my fastest run of the day. I had a quicker run but hit two cones
The car def has a couple more seconds in her, I just need more seat time!

great driving! I was impressed how quick you were. you will be able to be competitive locally in STR if you keep coming out.

Looks like my fastest lap on the GoPro didn't video. I don't know what the hell happened. I was looking forward to watching and learning from my mistakes. That sucks. Oh well such is life sometimes. At least I put a decent time down.
That looks like good times! You so very fast yaah.

That is a bummer. This means we need to setup another event and do this again soon. I had a great time, thanks again for setting it up.

When I watch my video of the spin I drove the car really deep and hard into the corner, no wonder I spun lol. At least I can finally check that off my list of things to do with this car 
yeeehaaaw!
I'm not sure the scoreboard dude wrote the time down correctly for one of my competition runs. One might have been a 48.0X that 49 had a mistake towards the end slalom. 55
only did a 48.4 in time only fun runs.

Official Results posted here when they get around to it. The normal scoring guy wasn't there so it may be a day or two.

key spots to lineup were
1.) Being able to go ballz out through the first two corners - a deceivingly fast section if you turn in hard and late.
2.) ballz out lefty sweeper and more importantly, proper setup for the first slalom.
3.) proper setup for the tricky second slalom
4.) proper setup for the 3rd fast offset slalom
5.) proper left hand sweeper at the end including a lining up that high speed offset
6.) the last slalom into the finish was pretty fast when lineup up correctly which requres getting over your right and being about to sort of trail brake into. I got loose here at times. A car that sets faster, like an S2000 with good suspension, would have been eating my lunch here.

competition time results. I guess I did only get a 48.80 in competition runs. booo. 48.0 would have been more competitive for my prep level when looking at some other times. using street tires for a R-compound class is hurting me quite a bit though for PAX scoring. the pain of SCCA classing.. .

How do people locally feel about sticking to the rules? My tires are 180tw which means they are not in spec for STR...I think treadwear is trivial when it comes to typical street tires (RE11A, RS3, ADO8, Rival, DZII) but not sure if people I may compete against would feel the same way.
