B group must have stood for bad though. I missed the first session helping another driver fix his car. Session 2 a Vette spun on the out lap and cost us almost the whole session. Session 3 had a couple race cars in it that kept breaking causing the session to be flagged. Lots of traffic and dangerous driving in general. Clean laps where hard to come by.

Sounds crazy great to here you're making good progress on the PB. I have caught mono been home sick the last 2 weeks. Was really bummed I missed both days.

That 57.8 is solid - Your driving, line, placement, gear choice are there dude! In the hairpin, you'll have to look at data to confirm if 3rd or 2nd gear is faster but also from the looks of it - you'll have to really study data to find "the rest" and I don't think there's much left, likely only tenths.

Great driving. I really do hope you pick up racing at some point.

I agree 2nd would be faster. My foot is planted in 3rd with little modulation and the car does not slip. I mostly just leave it in 3rd there for safety as I have had a couple close calls with the pit wall there and need to drive the car home at the end of the day.

Thanks. I would love to try W2W I just don't see it in the near future.

Just a couple more months till we're back on track! Who will I see out there this year?

I'm trying to get my car into Doug's hands at Chase Race for a bunch of fixes (and reverting to NA) in the next few weeks. Looking forward to getting out there again.

I will be out, but maybe only 4 events this year. I have been pretty busy and this year looks even busier.

I have RCE T2's, SPL Solid subframe mounts, WL bump steer kit, and more suspension bushings to put on the car and a visit to Chase Race for an alignment after. I am also setting my spare motor up with some oil pressure mods and may be swapping that in soon. I also got ahold of a bunch of stainless steel sheet and will be ducting my oil cooler this year to try to get my temps in check.

Will be nice to see some people out there this year

I should be doing almost every Hooked on Driving and Audi Club NW DE day. And I’ll probably pick up an additional Pacific Raceways day and a weekend ORP with Porsche Club.

Did you buy @kch's T2s?

Sounds like a bunch of great upgrades. What sort of oil pressure mods did you do to your spare?

I'm sitting on engine mounts, diff inserts, and subframe inserts, but will probably just focus on getting the car back to 100% before tweaking more things.

No I picked these up out of TX for 900 with Verus camber plates and had them rebuilt.

I am going to a Bluemoon baffle and a Killer B pickup tube. I have been dropping down into the low teens in oil pressure at the transition between turns 2 and 3. Couple other areas it drops too, but not as severe.

nah, mine went to dallas somewhere

I might come out to a couple events, but nothing like I used to. The BRZ is still getting stripped down of all its parts (I've been super lazy), and the Golf isn't really going to be a track beast.
