Hey Stephen, Where are you moving? Hopefully nowhere too far.

Also is this you in the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsport? If so, that's awesome!!!

Moving about 15 minutes from where I live now. Bought a house on 10 acres so the wife can have her horse in the yard and it's got enough garage space for a lift and space for a future shop.

Here's a video from the last session of the last day of Hyperfest. I was able to shave a couple of tenths off my fastest lap, but not quite as much as I had hoped. The DE3 field was packed at Hyperfest. Still had a blast though. The guy in the CMC prepped Mustang in this video is Jim. He and I have come up through the HPDE ranks together. Some weekends I was faster, some weekends he was faster. This weekend, we were pretty evenly matched and it was fun being out there with him.

Also had a great time talking with all the S2000 guys. Congrats Conner on putting up some fast times in your first TT event! I'm still jealous of how good the inside of your car looks. No soft-top-less S2000 interior has any business looking that good.

^nice laps man!

Hey dudes I got a new S2000 and was able to go back on track to Roebling. This was my first weekend with a proper rear wing and Hoosier R7s. These were my two fastest laps, 1:18.56 and a 1:18.67 respectively, plus a lap with Dan and I chasing some race car. I improved my personal best by two seconds. The car felt pretty balanced with just a slight tendency towards understeer, but through the high speed stuff it was pretty neutral. This was also my first time with a BBK and after I stiffened the rear rebound to stabilize the rear under braking, it was pretty awesome and much less terrifying. I still need to get used to the longer gearing of the AP1 though, I would look down and see the tach at 6k and was like 'where's the vtec at? Oh yeah ap1 right.'. I'm pretty stoked to have a good car to drive again.

Roebling looks like fun. Lots of high speed sweepers. I was thinking about bumping up the rear rebound on my car as well to deal with some of the rear end twitchiness during hard braking.
