Black run group, 2nd session of the day, with a best of 2:08.0
"That big wing.. do you plan to have one?" most exciting question I've heard all year ? Thanks for lending me your blue masking tape and compressor Ting!
Thanks to Robert Choo from Chewerks for prepping the car the day prior! And for providing an AP2 rear sway bar to replace the overly stiff Swift one.
New PB of 2:14.8! The repaved track is really nice, and the new AiM Solo 2 was really helpful despite the ghetto ziptie mount ?
Car felt better than ever and is so fun to drive now that I'm getting more familiar with pushing the car. Thanks to the red hatch for the awesome point by! ?

Speed Ventures day.. hung out a bit with some friends, had a yummy lunch, learned a lot, and had tons of fun!
It was nice seeing Boone in his "CR-V" there and it was a blast driving with him and Mario's turbo GE8. Cameron was zipping around all day in his sweet Zizzo bike lol and it was nice chatting with him too. Learned some cool things about GE8s from Mario and about FCs and rotaries from Gabe in the red FC RX7.
Chasing the turbo GE8 helped me do a new PB! I kept thinking the BOV sound was some noise from my car lol. The new setup feels great! Next goal 1:32

After three tries, I finally broke 36 with a 35.7! Not my best run! I didn't record the next run, where I ran an even faster 35.5! :D
For the 35.5 run, I took the first left in 1st gear and took the last section more smoothly. So much adrenaline after the run!
Thanks to Kenny and Steven for pointing out that I was missing the last gate after the slalom during my first few runs! Steven's turbo LS1 VW R32 was in the 35 range as well I think.
New tires feel amazing! The Fit (Jenowl's "Goatfit") didn't make it because it's in the shop after someone rear ended us last Sat after we just installed the Spoon N1 T_T Hopefully it will be ready for Dec 2 with a new Spoon N1 ?
Sevenstock was also happening there! :)

Up in the sky
Flying way up high
I can't believe my eyes
A techno feline
So fly up high
And never come down
I'll move like you
To the techno sound
Techno kitty kitty
You're so pretty kitty
Techno kitty with a rocket pack
Techno kitty kitty
You're so pretty kitty
Techno kitty with wings on your back
Flying through the air so high
You're like a shooting star
That lights up the sky
Techno kitty kitty
You're so pretty kitty
Techno kitty
Techno cat
Meow!

Did about 10 laps and worked my way down to a 1:57.3 and a 1:57.2 starting with 1:59s and consistent 1:58s. World record is 1:51.6! ?? I know I can get to 1:56, with some things in mind I want to try differently, but where are those extra 5 seconds? ? I'm using the default setup.. could setup make such a big difference?
