At the end of the day, the track and So Cal crew let me throw on my year old Goodyear slicks for an attempt at the track record. My shifter was hanging up on me on my downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, so I ran up on the rev limiter until my last lap. I hated doing this! I had a delay due to over heating, but they waited it out for me. I had one crack at it and I made the best of it. The old track record for the past year was held by a modified Miata with aero and forced induction. His time was a 43.24. I beat it by 2 seconds with a 41.25.

Here is a video of the run from the left quarter panel view. The new sound out of the exhaust is courtesy of a new Black Widow muffler. I love the sound.

Exhaust sounds good. Change just for something different?
That would be 43.34 on Falkens DG Pay attention Flash.

Pretty awesome for "learning the tricks of the track"
