if that becomes commonplace, do prisons accept walk-ins?

Went to the track today. Ran a set of SX2's back to back against a set of RT660's. The 660's where 2sec/min quicker on a track I had only driven for the second time in 3 years. Very good feel, sidewalls seem decently stiff even when I took the car out on it's warm up laps with 30psi cold pressure. They seem to be happy at 35-37 psi hot. Got a little greasy at the end of 20 min but they didn't drop off hard as they got hot. Ambient today was in the high 80's.

I also tested running my GTC200 with the factory spoiler with a Perrin gurney flap. Then removed the gurney flap, then the stock spoiler. Definitely made a difference but I say the drag penalty from running those other parts isn't worth what you gain. Car felt a bit looser but I preferred it that way as it was easier to rotate in the fast corners. I removed the risers from this GTC200 so it sits 3.25 inches lower then out of the box. Much happier with this setup.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there. Hopefully you get some new cologne:

Also forgot to mention was my first time running E85 on track. Holy hell what a difference. I am actually quite happy with the power the car makes now. Downside is I noticed I need to upgrade my radiator. I was hitting close to 240F and having to cool the car down or just pull off the rest of the session. I started noticing last couple years I could hit 230F on water temps and though it was an issue with my cooling stack. Nope, still not better. Koyo Rad on the way.

Vanity plates finally arrived and gave it a much needed wash after back-to-back weekend road trips.

Any issues running E85 on the track? Did you notice fuel starvation? (E85 + 660s tires)
