Just the highlights...

Lost a PS pump in T8 at 110mph blink.gif It would cutout in every turn for 2 sessions.

Drove 3hrs to get a new pump, had a tread seperation at 65mph and allmost went off the road in my friends girlfriends car. The car doesn't look so good now, but i'm alive!

Set a new best at 1:36.984 on the first day with the pump cavitating! I run a consistant 1:37.5 on a clear track on day 2.

The car is 3454 3/4 tank, and 3649 with me and gear.
1004/1000
698/747
@3454
1081/1009
766/789
@3649

The new trailer worked great, and the old RV did to laugh.gif

I couldn't get the car to run 180(stock Rad 85deg day) until i turned the fans off and taped up the opening some(i have hardware cloth under the nose) 2thumbs.gif Randy and Alan(blain) for your sugestions on move the coolers and the sealing of the Rad.

And I found out don't pass the lead imstructor in his modified M3, he gets mad and says my car is faster, yeah right!

I'm sure i will have many more part runs laugh.gif

I was doing 65mph when the LR tire let go, it jerked right and for a split second i was stearing at the desert blink.gif

I had the light set at 5400, and was hitting it in T2a & b/T3. I fixed it by staying in 4th through 2 and using alot more brake into 3 :drive: I did however missed 2 shifts in the same spot(3rd to 2nd) and tested the motor really good ph34r.gif

I didn't lose time with the steering problem, i set my best time ever when the steering was at it's worst! I don't know why or how!

It was a perfect 85 last weekend Julie cool2.gif In Dec/Jan it will be 30degs with a 25mph wind blink.gif

I will see you at BRP on the 8/9 right? My wife wants to try HPDE1(if she can get the weekend off) and it would be so cool if you were her instructor :drive:
