The car ran great all weekend and I was able to really push the suspension and brakes hard. Harry's Lap Timer was acting up due to the overcast conditions and while it did get somewhat accurate lap times there were several where it didn't pick up start/finish and the laps were like 3-5 minutes long. I was right at my 1:50.1 personal best a few times but I never did crack the 1:50 mark.

The brakes were phenomenal. I was out braking most of the street cars out there and my cornering speeds were on par with several cars running slicks as the GoPro footage will show once it's ready. I got lots of compliments from other drivers in my run group on how the car ran.

My dad took the car out for the first time and gave me some good feedback on the setup from his perspective. He was amazed by how much better the turn-in was compared to his 944 S2 race car and really impressed with the brakes. He thinks the car is a little loose in the rear at higher speeds (into 10A) over the hill at turn 9. I may adjust the leading edge of my rear diffuser back to max rake once I can get a real downforce splitter installed in front to balance things out and see how that goes. I like the sway bar and damper settings as is so I think getting more aggressive with the aero in the rear may be a better solution.
