Had a great time at Buttonwillow this weekend. Fast cars, good company, and a few cold ones.(Maybe more than a few) Car was really fast. I think I passed about 50 cars in my 5 sessions. Bunch a M3's, M5's, S4's, Shelby... I laid down a 2:18 in the 2nd heat and that was my only clean lap with no traffic. I knew I could lay down a better lap but it took until the last two laps of the 5th sessoin for me to get a clean track. I'd have a great lap going in other sessions and catch somebody. Anyway, I laid down a 2:14.1xx and 2:14.2xx my last two laps. The go pro battery went capoot after heat 2. The car was very well balanced and man was it making big power. I was thrilled with the performance. I did have some high oil temps come into play that I need to address. It was in the low 90's but I really need a bigger cooler. As you'll see in the video, I wind it out pretty good. Later in the day I shifted into 4th to lower rpms and create less heat. I was hitting about 130-135 down both straights at the end of the day. Buttonwillow is the ****. Favorite to date.....


The 2:18 lap starts at about 2:30...
