Nice meeting you. Gary
:Went to Hallett with the ZCoT and ran a road course for the first time... what a blast. So much fun, so much to learn, so many mistakes made over and over again...
:Nixit was my instructor for the first 2 sessons and I convinced Guapo to ride along for the next two after Nixit left early for his uber-long drive back to Ill...
:Here's Nixit hunched down in my car showing me the proper line.
:
:Bring it in already! Guapo riding along trying to get me to be more aggresive with my steering.
:
:A group shot of most of the cars from sunday. Not pictured... Nixit and Guapo and basicially all of the Twin turbos, 2 sweet sounding Alfas and an awesome sounding Ferrari.
:
:The car ran great. The temp needle barely moved out of it's normal center spot on the temp guage and only during the third and forth sessons. Needing some gas...I got a full tank of 91 octane midway through the day and it had me pinging all over during sesson three. A couple of gallons of race gas ( $5.50 a gallon ) mixed in for the next round fixed that problem.
:All the suspension and brake items Damon put on last year made the car handle and brake very well. SPL even got the hawk blue racing pads to me on time even though I ordered them way late.
:The brake calipers got so hot that it cooked the clear coat on the calipers... they have this nice overcooked look to them now.
:And thanks to Guapo... I got my first ride in a Twinturbo... at speed... on a race track. I'll just say 'Damn' and leave it at that.
:Be seeing you.Tu.slow.
