I was at Putnam Park this last weekend and had a blast. The Cormaro had all of its rpm and the difference was awesome. I need better brakes so I can pick up more speed in between corners. I hit 116mph in the straight which is pretty damn good for 300 rwhp. The handling of the stock suspension parts still has me amazed, tire temps were flat across the whole set and the wear was right where it should be. I keep finding ways to get better lap times every time I go out and the Kumho's have proven to be sticky but not any stickier than Karl Dunn's Nitto's.We both have 285's all the way around and the 180 vs 200 tw doesn't seem to make any difference in grip from what I see, we are both using all the tire we have correctly and it is as much fun as we can both have.

I did well in the autox in Lawrenceville and found I have a lot more to learn about driving in 2nd gear without putting too much foot in it, I think Brian Finch has the foot like a feather to be able to do what he does.

I need to get some new mufflers since I was told the car is getting really loud at full throttle, 12,000 miles plus has taken the toll on the insides I bet.

I am ready to make a fuel cell so I stop having fuel starvation issues in the long corners. I have made it up to full g forces in the corners and it reall reflects all the fuel going to one side or the other when I get down on fuel.

I am also going to have to put the accusump in too, the start stop challenge is the only place I have a problem when the car gets to the last few feet. the track and autox don't effect it but he oil going all the way to the front for all its worth is just too much. Good thing is that I am off the gas and the r's are down at that point.

I will be posting up videos soon at youtube so check them out, there a re plenty there already so have fun looking. Just put Cormaro in your search box and you go right ot them.

I'm still smiling
