That's the biggest thing. This summer I've seen 4 cars go off in front of me because they refused to give a point by. Happened at LRP last weekend. Guy in a Miata refused to point by, went 4 off and spun in Big Bend. Last time at Thompson the same thing happened, but the guy managed to blow...

I actually got a chance to chat with the 4C driver as we were in the same run group. What an incredible little car! It truly is a pocket supercar with it's carbon fiber monocoque and the cockpit layout and whatnot...but I was WAY faster in my Supra. ?

I got to drive in the same group as this guy my last day at LRP but in all honesty he was too nervous to really push it.

That's really the takeaway for me from the experience. That said I do believe there are a few somewhat mandatory mods if you're going to seriously track the car. Especially with the brakes and tires. They are: Something to reduce/eliminate wind buffeting Upgraded brake pads and fluid Front...

That's awesome man!

Great stuff! Thanks Mark!! No issues with signal degradation from the roof? I'm debating buying a GoPro for this setup too. I figure I can always use it elsewhere once I upgrade to a Catalyst down the road. It would be sweet to do track videos with overlays, even if I'm the only person...

That ride you gave me was a real eye opener. Believe me, I remember everything you said about it! The stability under braking, especially at LRP on the entry to Big Bend would be very nice lol.

The ME in me is geeking out right now. FYI, I heard a rumor that a certain well known aero company may be teasing a new swan neck wing this week for our cars...

I'm not planning on adding any significant aero for at least another 15-20 track days. That said, https://shop.zebulonmsc.com/ ?

I remember seeing this often at SCCA AutoX back when I lived in Colorado. Maybe they have something in your area? I hope your ex stays civil too brother. It took about 2 years after the separation for my ex to start using our daughter as a weapon. Her family is largely to blame. Not...

Start him early on carting! Kid will be winning competitions before he has a drivers license. Seriously though, 5 is a great age. Old enough to be over most of the toddler stuff, but young enough to think you're the greatest person in the world. 5-11 or so is fun. At age 12 the crazy kicks...

Been there, done that. It sucks... but man, kids grow up so damn fast. My daughter is 14 and starting high school tomorrow! I feel like I was changing her diapers yesterday, now she's almost 6-feet tall! It'll all still be here when you have more time, and once your kid is old enough you can...

I'm really hoping to be able to move to Intermediate 2 next summer and Advanced in 2025. Planning on at least 15 events next year.

This brings me right back to my graduate school days and the low speed aerodynamics (sub mach 0.5) I studied. NACA profiles, Reynolds numbers, lots of use of "i" in some shitty maths. I do a lot of similar stuff with fluid flow through valves at my current job. I wish I had access to a decent...

LMFAO! Damn Pete, that must have been sucky. Did it happen at Lime Rock? I'll look into the 777 stuff. I've already been looking at 9 Lives thanks to you.

I wanted to post an update. I have now done nine events so far this year at three different tracks. I am signed up for three more events including two days at Watkins Glen later this month. I may sign up for one or two more days, but between the track insurance and the entry fees I have spent...

Ok fellas, where do I mount this thing so it gets a good signal, won't overheat, and won't go flying around my car on the first lap? ?

Nice!! That's great news. Thanks Mark.

Got some work to do Saturday before Thompson on Sunday.

Nice! I'll give it a try next time I see you at LRP. I've got an OBDLink CX I'm going to try at Thompson this Sunday.
