That repaved backside is great. Super grippy, and it’s a few feet wider at the exit of 3b and entrance of 5a I think. I took the SCCA license course with proformance last march right before the track improvements were made. The difference between the old road and new is palpable. I haven’t had a chance to get out there yet this year (nursing a torn ligament in my left ankle). I’ll work in some time at the ridge this year as well. |

The Ridge has a sudden opening due to a motorcycle event cancelling this weekend. I am signed up for Saturday the 11th.
Let's see if I can blow up another engine

If it wasn't SCCA National Tour at Packwood this weekend I'd sign up.
I'm signed up for BMW club at PIR next Thursday and then the OnGrid event at ORP on Saturday the 18th. OnGrid is probably gonna be garbage, but it's $150 and on a Saturday so we'll see. |

Fingers crossed the turbo doesn’t overwhelm the Lani nova oil cooler and it can survive a 20 min session By the way, is it possible to log at all with a laptop during the track sessions with the ecutek dongle?? If not what’s the best solution? Am really surprised that these track days are only 4 x20 min sessions Is this normal?! Motorcycle track days we get a minimum of 6 sessions!! Why is it that car track days only do 4!?! Am definitely nervous getting back out on the track and still got to do a brake fluid change and pad change before Thursday morning Hopefully the continental extreme contact sport will do the job. It’s got 10k street miles on them so far

I think I'm bailing on OnGrid -- maybe someone wants my spot?
Gonna go do the national pro in packwood instead. I'm in intermediate for BMW club thursday because I'm bringing my miata. |

I couldn't get my wing below 5 degree of AOA so it was a net gain of zero. Lost 8-10mph on the front straight. Everywhere else it was 2-5mph faster in corners until the tires got hot, then it was understeering mess till I could get them cooled down.

lame as fuck.. got an email last night saying they decided to not run any Novice class on thursday with the BMW club.
Am tempted to try the ridge or ORP but just not sure about driving out there and not having a way to haul the car back in case of any breakdown. ugh

I'm not sure if I'll get back out there this year. My wife and I just found out that we're expecting our first baby!
So naturally, I will become old and boring and sell my sports car.. ..just kidding. I'll be back eventually. But until then, I'll continue sharpening my skills on the sim. I've been racing Formula Renault 2.0 lately and having a blast. |
