Second weekend of testing went extremely well. Car ran without a hitch and it sooooo much fun to drive. I don't understand why everyone thinks these cars are tail happy? Mine is incredibly neutral and trail brakes extremely well. Managed to knock of considerable time from last weekend and am close to my goal. Will just need newer tires and cooler weather to get there.

It was hot a Barber and water temps never got above an indicated 190oF. I plan to install oil temp gauges for both the engine and trans when I get time. Late Sunday afternoon I was able to run a full 45 minute stretch at speed and the car was consistent from start to finish.

Compression is set at full stiff and I am still bouncing off the bump stops in a few places, guess I will up the ride hit 5mm and try again.

Vid will follow when I have time.
