Major improvement at Ridge last weekend, but temps yielded only a slight quicker PB. Data review yielded the car just didn't charge as hard in the 75*+ temps vs the 55-60* range -- shocker, right :)

If you haven't considered professional-grade coaching -- I'm fully a believer now. The amount we were able to cover across 2 days would have taken far more days on track + far more consumables to hopefully ever get to. Completely elevated my game, while simultaneously being less abusive on the car and its tires!
Super cool track!!

I guess I’ll enjoy your video. Too far for me to go.

Regarding the metal drain for the hood vent. Should I remove for track day? Does it make any difference? I don't want to drive around without it for very long. But could remove at the track.

Anyone run the heater, while on track, to wick heat out of the motor?

I'm not really seeing that... you're hitting either equal speeds on most straights (defined as full throttle sections, not physically straight) as your last track vid, with in 1 mph on 2 of them

Is top speed the only thing you are concerned with?

Almost Friday. Getting car loaded up for the track this weekend.

I wish someone would post a used set of 18x9.5 +45 forged wheels for sale I like. I want to save some $$.

Just the cheapest? All seem to get fine reviews.
