Picked me up a second set of Enkei RPF1's, same size & color, but came with Federal tires on them, going to use them as street tires/wheels to help the RE71R's last a little longer on the track!

Took the BRZ to Road Atlanta over Memorial Day weekend, 2 days of tracking with no issues or incidents! It was my first visit there and was able to put down a 1:48:970

Only 2 other twins there, both AT and both running very similar times to mine. Those damn AT's rev match way to easily! LOL

Set my fastest lap time at Sebring last weekend, 2:42:36 I was trying to use up the last bit of rubber on my original RE-71R's so it was loose and greasy all weekend with the heat, pretty sure I can get to 2:39 the next time out on fresher tires!

Here's the fast lap:

Figured I needed to add some safety to this thing...Autopower 4-pt roll bar, OMP-HTE-R Seats, Sparco 6-pt harnesses and a HANS device will help. All installed by Speed Syndicate in Pinellas Park, FL along with a corner balance & alignment.

Attended a ChinTrackDays event on Oct 6th to try out all the latest upgrades to the car. HUGE thanks to Speed Syndicate! Chris and the guys not only did a great job installing the 4-pt rollbar, seats and harnesses, their corner balancing and alignment settings made the car super neutral and controllable and I was able to shave some more time off my personal best at Sebring setting a 2:41.63, plus I was super consistent!

1st visit to Atlanta Motorsports Park on Thursday at the 86 Track Day before the Tough event but Atlanta Speed Company. Got half of the days sessions in dry with an ambient temp of 57 degrees and set a best time of 1:38:70, then the rains came in buckets but ran some super fun wet laps. Will get some video up shortly.
