We're heading up highway 81 to Pennsylvania for this weekends event. I've got to remember to bring my ear plugs and gas mask.
I may do the FATT on the 12th but definitely the Seat Time on the 15th. I got the new, medium size splitter installed and I found that my right front shock's compression was set a lot stiffer than the left front--Skip, were you messing with my shocks while I was out instructing?
I'm also running less caster up front (was running 7.5 degrees) and less toe-in in the rear. I think I've been running too much compression for my springs and too little rebound so I've made some adjustments and can't wait to see how the car responds. I know, so much for the "One change at a time," rule.

you could come to VIR that weekend and school the "Over the hill Corvette Instructors Gang." Yes, they have a large banner that actually says that. We've got 7 entrants in H1, 3 of which are S2000s.

Damn. Mine has a small tear in it, but I would like to replace it with a glass window if I go through the trouble of replacing it.

The weather for the FATT tomorrow is looking pretty sweet. It'll be chilly for the first run but should be good to go after that. I'm still planning to attend the Seat Time on the 15th unless the weather sucks.
